Preface
Perhaps never in our history has there been such widespread concern over
crime and the capability of our criminal justice agencies to contend with it.
The passage of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 is
the result of a national demand for public order. This far-reaching Act, signed
into law by the President, promises substantial financial and functional sup-
]5ort to local and state law enforcement agencies. Achievement of this Act's
objective — to improve the performance of law enforcement — will depend on
wise application of the funds available and sound implementation of the Act's
provisions by state and local agencies.
As T stated on these pages last year, a vital need within the state is effective
criminal justice statistical programs. Crime statistics are necessary if the states
are to know the extent and nature of the crime problem and be in a position
to intelligently plan for and evaluate their criminal justice systems. These
jirograms are an essential part of statewide computerized information systems
which are rapidly being developed. The FBI has been providing assistance to
a number of states during the past several years in developing statewide
programs of police statistics and stands ready to afford such assistance to all
states upon request. The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act offers
the states financial help in developing and implementing such systems, including
a collection of police statistics.
Uniform Crime Reports provides this country's only nationwide view of
crime. This Program does present a practical measure of this Nation's most
common local crime problems. Like the collection of other mass social data,
it cannot be statistically pure. The develojjment of state programs of police
statistics will further improve the quality and completeness of Uniform Crime
Reports. Certainly, any national collection of complete criminal justice statistics
will require standards that can be obtained only through centralized state
programs.
The National Crime Information Center, operating as a computerized
nationwide index utilized by law enforcement at local, state and Federal
levels, provides a nucleus of information interchange. This system and related
state systems are the tools by which a more effective and efficient flow of law
enforcement information is being accomplished.

Crime Factors
Uniform Crime Reports give a nationwide view of crime based on police
statistics made possible by the voluntary cooperation of local law enforcement
agencies. Since the factors which cause crime are many and vary from place to
place, readers are cautioned against drawing conclusions from direct com-
parisons of crime figures between individual communities without first con-
sidering the factors involved. The national material summarized in this publi-
cation should be used, however, as a starting point to determine deviations of
individual cities from the national averages.
Crime is a social problem and the concern of the entire community. The
law enforcement effort is limited to factors within its control. Some of the
conditions which will affect the amount and type of crime that occurs from place
to place are briefly outlined below:
Density and size of the community j^opulation and the metro])olitan area
of which it is a part.
Composition of the population with reference particularly to age, se.x and
race.
Economic status and mores of the population.
Relative stability of population, including commuters, seasonal, and other
transient types.
Climate, including seasonal weather conditions.
Educational, recreational, and religious characteristics.
Effective strength of the police force.
Standards governing appointments to the police force.
Policies of the prosecuting officials and the courts.
Attitude of tlie public toward law enforcement problems.
The administrative and investigative efficiency of the local law enforce-
ment agency, including the degree of adlierence to crime reporting
standards.

CRIME INDEX TOTALS
The Uniform Crime Reporting Program em-
ploy's seven crime classifications to establish
an index to measure the trend and distribution
of crime in the United States. These crimes —
murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault,
burglary, larceny $50 and over in value, and auto
theft — are counted by law enforcement agencies
as the crimes become known to them. These crimes
were selected for use in the Crime Index because,
as a group, they represent the most common
local crime problem. They are all serious crimes,
either by their very nature or due to the volume in
which they occur. Basically, they can be categor-
ized as violent crimes, such as murder, forcible
rape, robbery and aggravated assault, or as crimes
against property, such as burglary, larceny $50
and over in value, and auto theft.
It is believed desirable to point out that there
is no way of determining the total number of
crimes which are committed. Many criminal acts
occur which are not reported to official sources.
In light of this fact, the best soiu-ce for obtaining
a count of crime is the next logical imiverse,
namely, crimes which come to police attention.
The crimes used in the Crime Index are those
considered to be most consistently reported to
police and the computations of crime trends and
crime rates are prepared using this universe —
offenses known to police.
The crime counts set forth in this publication are
actual offenses established by police investigation.
When police receive a complaint of a crime and
the follow-up investigation discloses no crime
occurred it is "unfounded." In 1967, on a national
average, police investigations "unfounded" four
percent of the citizen complaints concerning Crime
Index offenses, ranging from 3 percent in the
larceny classification to 18 percent in the forcible
rape comi)laints. Unfounded complaints are elim-
inated from these crime counts.
In calendar year 1967 more than 3.8 million of
these serious crimes were reported to law enforce-
ment agencies, a 16 percent national increase over
1966. The violent crimes as a group make up 13
percent of the Crime Index total and rose 16
])ercent, with murder up 11 percent, forcible rape
7 percent, robbei-y 28 percent, and aggravated
assault 9 percent. Each of the property crimes
recorded an increase, thereby contributing to the
17 i)erceiit rise in this grou]) of offenses which
represents 87 percent of the Crime Index total.
Bm-glary was up 16 i)ercent and larceny $50 and
over in value increased 17 percent. Auto theft
continued its upward trend by registering an
18 percent increase. Since 1960, the violent crimes
have increased 73 percent, property crimes 91
percent, and the combined total 89 percent in
volume.
The suburban areas continued to show a sharp
upswing in the volume of crime with a 16 percent
rise. The large core cities having populations in
excess of 250,000 were up 17 percent in volume and
the rural areas were up 12 percent. Among city
groups, those places with more than 100,000
inhabitants experienced a 17 percent crime
increase and within this group cities having over
one million inhabitants recorded a 7 percent rise.
Although the trend of crime continues sharply
upward in suburban areas, a much higher volume
of crime occurs in the large cities.
Each individual crime classification had in-
creases in each geographic region with the volume
of crime in the North Central States in 1967 up
19 percent, the Northeastern States 17 percent,
and the Western and Southern States each up 15
percent.
Estimated 1967 crime figures for the United
States are set forth in the following table. As
explained on page 56 of this publication, the
trends shown in this table are based on the actual
reporting experience of comparable places.
CRIME AND POPULATION
Crime rates relate the incidence of crime to
population. From a more realistic point of view, a
crime rate shoidd be considered as a count of
victims. The discussion that follows will demon-
strate tliat the risk of becoming a victim of crime
in this country is increasing and that population
growth cannot alone account for the crime
increases.
The national Crime Index rate rose from 1,667
offenses per 100,000 popidation in 1966 to 1,922 in
1967, a 15 percent increase in the victim rate.
The rise in the national crime rate since 1960, or
the risk of being a victim of one of these crimes,
has risen 71 percent. Many factors influence the
nature and extent of crime in a particular com-
munity. A number of these factors are shown on
page vi of this publication. A crime rate only
takes into consideration the numerical factor of
population and does not incorporate any of the
otlier elements which contribute to the amount of
crime ii\ a given area. The statistical tables in
this publication disclose that the varying crime

ularly large core cities as contrasted with the

The overall crime rate increase in 1967 was
attributable to the upward climb of violent
crimes, as well as crimes against property. The
above table discloses each crime category re-
corded a rate increase ranging from 6 percent in
forcible rape to 27 percent in robbery. The
number of crimes per unit of i)opulation is, as
expected, highest in the large metropolitan centers
and in those areas where populations are growing
the fastest.
The accompanying charts illustrate the trend
of crime in the United States for 1960 through
1967 by showing percentage changes in volume
and rate of crime together with the population
increase. Separate charts provide similar informa-
tion relative to crimes of violence and crimes
against property. Since 1960, the rate for crimes
of violence as a group increased 57 percent and
property crime rate rose 73 percent.
The reader's attention is directed to the tables
containing arrest data which commence on page
116 for additional information on the seven Crime
Inde.x offenses, as well as arrest statistics for other
criminal acts.
MURDER AND NONNEGLIGENT
MANSLAUGHTER
This Crime Index offense includes all willful
killings without due process and is scored on the
basis of police investigation as opposed to any
decision of a court, coroner, jury or other judicial
body. Deaths caused by negligence are not in-
cluded in this category but are counted as
manslaughter by negligence. Attempts to kill or
assaults to kill are scored as aggravated assaults
and not as murder. The crime count in this offense
classification also excludes suicides, accidental
deaths and justifiable homicides.
Vol
ome
In 1967 there were an estimated 12,090 murders
committed in the United States. When compared
to the 10,920 murders recorded in 1966, this
represents a numerical increase of 1,170 homicides,
and is the largest absolute rise over any prior year
in the 1960's. This crime makes up less than 3 per-
cent of the crimes of violence, and less than one-
half of 1 percent of all Crime Index offenses. As
in prior years, more miu"ders were committed in
the summer months, yet December, 1967, was the
peak month of the year. December has been the
peak month each calendar year during the past
decade with the exception of 1963. Volumewise,
48 percent of the murders occurred in the Southern
States. The North Central States contributed 23
percent, the Northeastern States 16 percent, and
the Western States recorded 13 percent of the will-
ful killings nationwide.
Trend
Murder increased 11 percent in 1967 over 1966.
Since 1960, the number of murders has risen 34
percent. The following chart indicates the trend
in the volume of murder as well as the trend in
the murder rate, 1960 tlirough 1967.
Regionally, murder rose 15 percent in the
Northeastern and North Central States in 1967.
Tliis was followed by a 14 percent increase in the
Western States and a 7 percent increase in the
Southern States. The Nation's big cities with
250,000 or more inhabitants registered a 20 percent
increase in 1967 over 1966. This percentage in-
crease was more than double that in the suburbs,
which witnessed an 8 percent rise whUe murder
in the rural areas was up 6 percent.

Murder Rate
In 1967, there were 6.1 victims per 100,000
population, up from 5.6 in 1966, a 9 percent
increase in tlie murder rate. Nationwide, cities
with 250,000 or over popuhition had a murder
rate of 11.9 per 100,000 popuhition, up 20 percent
over 190t). In tiie suburban areas tiie rate was
3.3, an increase of 10 percent over the jirior year,
while the rural areas had a rate increase of 4
percent to 5.9.
The number of miu-der victims in proportion to
population was highest in the Southern States
where the rate 9.4 was 6 percent above 1966. In
the Western States the rate of 4.9 was 14 percent
over 1966 and the North Central States with a
rate of 4.9 was up 11 percent. Tlie rate of 4.1 in
the Northeastern States was 14 percent higher
than the 1966 rate of 3.6.

Through the use of a supplemental report, de-
tails are collected on mm-ders to obtain data on
age, sex and race of the victim, the weapon used
to commit the offense, and the circumstances or
motive which led to the crime.
In 1967, the murder victims were 3 to 1 male,
the same ratio as in 1966. Nationwide, the ratio
of arrests for murder was more than 5 males to
1 female. Forty-five of every 100 victims were
white and 54 were Negro. The remaining 1 per-
cent was distributed among Indian, Chinese,
Japanese and other races. By age, it is determined
that 6 of every 10 murder victims were between
20 and 45 years of age with tlie largest number,
27 percent, falling in the 20 to 29 age group.
Firearms continue to be the [predominant
weapon used in murder, as illustrated in the
accompanying chart, with over 63 percent of the
1967 criminal homicides resultmg from the use
of a firearm. This is an increase of 17 percent in
the use of guns over 1966. Cutting or stabbing
weajjons were used in 20 percent of the murders,
other weapons, including blunt objects such as
hammers and clubs, poison, arson, explosives,
drowning, etc., in 8 percent, and in the remaining
9 percent of the murders, personal weapons such
as hands, fists and feet were used. Firearms were
the most predominant miu-der weapons in the
Southern States, used in over 7 of every 10 homi-
cides. Cuttings or stabbings were the highest in

slayings, while bhint objects or other dangerous
weajjons were used more often in the Western
States than in any other geographic region. The
use of personal weapons resulting in strangula-
tion, etc., was highest in the Northeastern States
and lowest in the Southern States. Since 1964
murder with the use of a firearm has risen 47
percent, a cutting or stabbing instrument 7 per-
cent, a club or other blunt object 13 ])ercent, and
personal weapons 10 percent. Table 22 sets forth
the percentage of murder by the use of firearms
by state for the years 1962-1967.
As pointed out in prior issues of this publica-
tion, police are powerless to prevent a large
number of these crimes, which is made readily
ai)parent from the circumstances or motives which
surround criminal homicide. The significant fact
emerges that most murders are committed by
relatives of the victim or persons acquainted with
the victim. It follows, therefore, based on these
facts, that criminal homicide is, to a major extent,
a social problem beyond police prevention. In
1967, killings within the family made up over 28
l^ercent of all murders. Over one-half of these
involved sjiouse killing spouse and the remainder
involved other family killings.
In this Program felony murder is defined as
those killings resulting from robberies, se.\ mo-
tives, gangland slayings, and other felonious
activities. These known and suspected felonious
killings resulted in 22 percent of the total number
of murders in 1967. The above table demon-
strates by geograjjhic region the percentage of
murder by type of circumstance in 1967.

Almost 3 of every 10 criminal homicides in the
United States were within the family unit in 1967.
In addition, about 1 of every 10 was the result of
romantic triangles or lovers' quarrels. More than
4 of every 10 were the direct residt of arguments
outside the family unit and not involving the
romantic triangle situations. It is known that the
persons participating in these arguments were
most frequently acquainted prior to the fatal act.
In situations involving husband and wife, the
wife was the victim in 55 percent of the cases and
the husband in 45 percent. In these incidents
almost 47 percent of the victims were white, 52
percent were Negro and 1 percent other races.
In lovers' quarrels, the female was the victim
in 55 percent of the incidents but when a third
party entered the scene to complete a romantic
triangle, a male was the victim in over 9 out of
every 10 episodes.
The victims of felony-type murders were 69
percent white, 30 percent Negro, and 1 percent
other race or race not stated.
Clearances
Nationally, police continue to be most success-
ful in clearing or solving by arrest a higher per-
centage of the murder cases than any other Crime
Index offense. In 1967, 8S ])ercent of the criminal
homicides were solved, a slight decrease from 1966.
Tliis is the second straight year in wliich the
[lercentage of solutions of murders have fallen,
when it is recalled that in 1965 over 90 percent of
all murders were cleared by arrest. In 1967,
persons under IS years of age were involved in 5
percent of the willful killings solved by police.
Penons Arrested
Based on reports submitted by law enforce-
ment agencies, more than 9 percent of all persons
arrested for murder were under 18 years of age
and 37 percent were under 25. The involvement
of the young age group under 18 years of age is
indicated in the long-term arrest trends for murder,
1960-1967, where a 56 percent increase occurred.
Tiie increase in adidt arrests for murder during
this same period was 39 percent. Numerically,
the 20 to 24 year age group had the heaviest
involvement during 1967 with 20 percent of the
total arrests coming from within this age group.
Kegroes made up 59 percent of the arrests for
murder in 1967 and 54 percent of the victims
of homicide were also Negroes. There was a 6
percent increase in the number of arrests of
females for murder in 1967 as compared with
1966 and a 15 percent increase in females under
18 years of age arrested for this offense.
Persom Charged
Police reports disclose that of all persons ar-
rested for having been involved in murder, 65
percent were formally charged by police. This is
down from the 68 percent who were formally
charged in 1966. Of those charged, 8 percent were
young persons whose cases were referred to
juvenile court jurisdiction. This compares with
the 7 percent of juveniles who were referred to
juvenile court jurisdiction in 1966. Insofar as
adults were concerned, of those charged with
murder, 47 percent were found guilty as charged,
18 percent entered pleas or were convicted on a
lesser charge and 34 percent were released by
acquittal or dismissal of charges against them.
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
Aggravated assault is defined as an unlawful
attack by one ])erson upon another for the purpose
of inflicting severe bodily injury usually accom-
panied by the use of a weapon or other means
likely to produce death or great bodily harm.
Attempts are included since it is not necessary
that an injury result when a gun, knife, or other
weapon is used which could and probably would
result in serious personal injury if the crime was
successfully completed.
Vol
ume
In calendar year 1967, there was an estimated
total of 253,300 aggravated assaults. Aggravated
assaults increased by over 21,000 offenses in 1967
over 1966. This violent crime against the person
made up almost 7 percent of the Crime Inde.x
offenses in 1967 and comprised 51 percent of the
crimes of violence. Regionally, the Southern States
recorded 40 percent of the total count of these
crimes followed by the North Central States 22
percent, the Northeastern States 20 percent with
the remaining 18 percent occurring in the Western
States. As has been the experience in prior years,
the warm summer months recorded the high
frequencies during 1967. (See Chart 10.)
Trend
In 1967, aggravated assault increased 9 percent
over 1966 and since 1960 has risen 67 percent.
Cities 250,000 and above had a 9 percent in-
crease in trend with the suburban areas i p 10
percent and rural areas up 6 percent. The North
Central States reported an upward trend of 13
percent while the Western States increased 11
percent. The Northeastern and Southern States
each recorded an increase of 8 percent.
Aggravated Assault Rate
For each 100,000 persons in the United States
during 1967, there were 128 victims of an ag-
gravated assault. Large core cities 250,000 and
over in population recorded a rate of 257 per
100,000 while the suburban and rural rates were
79. Overall, the aggravated assaidt rate in-
creased 8 percent over 1966, and since 1960 the
victim risk rate has risen 51 percent. (See Chart 6.)
All geographic regions recorded increases in
aggravated assault during 1967. The Southern
States were again highest with a rate of 163 while
the Western States reported a rate of 138. The
Northeastern and North Central States noted
rates of 105 and 102 per 100,000 inhabitants.
The victim risk rate was up 13 percent in large
core cities wiiile the suburban area rate was up
10 percent and the rural areas 6 percent.
Nature of Aggravated Assault
Most aggravated assaults occur within the
family unit or among neighbors or acquaintances.
The victim and offender relationship, as well as
the very nature of the attack, makes this crime
similar to murder. In 1967, almost 21 percent of the
serious assaults were committed with the use of a

firearm. A knife or other cutting instrument was
used in 33 percent of the assaults, 22 i)ercent were
committed witli blunt objects or other dangerous
weapons, and 24 percent with jiersonal weapons,
such as hands, fists and feet. The collection of
crime counts in this oflPense category was broken
down into the above subclassifications com-
mencing in 1964 in order to further define the
nature of these serious assaults. During the
four-year period, 1964-1967, assaults with fire-
arms were up 76 percent, assaults with a knife
or other cutting instrument rose 4 percent, those
where blunt objects or other dangerous weapons
were used increased 23 percent and the crimes
where personal weai)ons were employed recorded
a 38 percent rise. The table which follows demon-

Clearances
Performance, as measured by solutions, in-
dicates American law enforcement agencies were
successful in solving 69 of each 100 cases in 1967.
This relatively high solution ratio follows that
of the other crimes against the person; nonetheless,
solutions decreased 4 percent from the overall 72
percent solution ratio in 1966. Persons under 18
years of age were identified in 9 percent of these
clearances. Due to the nature of these crimes, ar-
rests are freijuently made upon the response of
patrol units. This type of patrol call is hazardous
to the officers. Since 1960, 86 officers have lost
their lives in responding to disturbance-type
calls, which fre(|uently involved family arguments
Persons Arrested
Arrests for aggravated assault increased 2
percent in 1967 over 1966, while arrests of persons
under 18 increased 6 percent nationwide. During
the jieriod 1960-1967 arrests of young persons
under 18 for aggravated assault have increased 121
percent, and arrests for adults during this same
period rose 47 i)ercent. As a group, persons over
21 years of age accounted for 70 percent of the
arrests for aggravated assault in 1967 and persons
under 21, 30 percent. Arrests for males outnum-
bered females by almost 7 to 1. Nearly one-half
of all persons arrested for this offense in 1967
were Negro; however, prior victimization surveys
have indicated the Negro is also primarily the
victim in crimes against the person.
Persons Charged
Law enforcement agencies have difficulty in
obtaining convictions based on original charge in
the aggravated assault category. The close family
or other relationshi]) whicli e.xists between victims
and assailants in this category accounts for tlie
victim's frequent unwillingness to cooperate or
testify for the prosecution. Accpiittals and dis-
missals, therefore, run liigh, almost 4 out of
each 10 cases. Police charged 76 out of every 100
persons arrested for aggravated assault in 1967
and 48 percent of the adults charged for this
offense were convicted on this charge. Sixteen
percent were convicted on a lesser ciiarge wliile 17
percent of the persons diarged were referred to
juvenile court jurisdiction.
FORCIBLE RAPE
Forcible rape, as defined under this Program,
is the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and
against her will. Assaults to rape are also included;
however, statutory rape without force is not
counted. Crime counts in this offense category
are broken down by actual rapes by force and
attempted rapes.
Volume
During 1967, there was an estimated total of
27,100 forcible rapes. Numerically, the volume
increased by 1,770 offenses over 1966. Percent-
agewise, forcible rape made up less than 1 percent
of the Crime Index total and a little over 5 per-
cent of the crimes of violence in 1967. The greatest
volume was recorded in the Southern States with
29 percent of the total, while the North Central
States recorded 27 percent, followed by the West-
ern and Northeastern States which reported 25
and 19 percent, respectively. This percentage
distribution by geograjjliic region was similar to
that experienced in calendar year 1966.
A comparison of the month-to-month varia-
tions for forcible rape in 1967 with the long-term
seasonally adjusted trend followed the pattern
set for many years. Chart number 10 demonstrates
the month-to-month variations of forcible rape
during 1967, as well as a comparison with the
prior five-year experience.
Trend
In calendar year 1967, the volume of forcible
rape increased 7 percent over 1966. The long-term
trend in this offense indicates tliat since 1960, the
number of these crimes has risen 61 percent. This
crime is committed most often in the big cities
with 250,000 or more inhabitants. In 1967, this
group of cities registered an upward trend of 12

percent, while the voUime increased by 7 percent
in the suburban areas. A decrease of 1 percent in
forcible rape was noted in the rural areas. Geo-
gra])hically, an overall increase was noted in all
regions with the Southern States up 9 percent and
the Western and North Central States each up 7
percent, w liile the Northeastern States reported a
4 percent rise.
Forcible Rape Rate
A crime rate equates the number of crhues per
unit of population, and in its proper perspective,
12
is a victim risk rate. In 1967, 27 out of every
100,000 women were known forcible rape victims.
Since 1960, the forcible rape crime rate has in-
creased 46 percent. In calendar year 1967, the
forcible rape rate increased by 6 percent over 1966.
Tiie large core cities recorded a victim risk rate
of 54 per 100,000 females, while the suburban area
rate was 21 and the rural area 18. Again, as
experienced in 1966, females residing in the
Western States during 1967 were most often the
victims of forcible rape. In these States, the
forcible rape rate was 39 per 100,000 females.
The Nurth C'cntrnl States recorded n rate of 26,
followed by the Soutliern and Nortiieastern States
with rates of 25 and 21 per 100,000 females.
Nature of Offenses
In 1967, two-thirds of all offenses reported in this
crime class were actual rapes by force wliile the
remainder \\-ere attemjits or assaults to rape. A
violent crime against the person, this offense oc-
curs most often out of reach of police patrols. Of
all the Oime Index offenses, law enforcement
administrators recognize that this offense is prob-
ably tiie most under-reported crime by victims to
l)olice due primarily to fear and/or embarrassment
on the part of many victims. As a national average,
18 ])ercent of all forcible rapes reported to police
were determined by police investigation to be un-
founded. In other words, the police established that
no offense actually did take place. This is caused
primarily due to the question of the use of force
frequently comijlicated by a prior relationship
between \-ictim and offender. Crime counts in this
publication, however, are limited to actual offenses
established by police investigation.
Clearances
In 1967, 61 percent of all forcible rapes were
solved by arrest of the offender. This rejiresents a
decrease of 2 percent in solutions when compared
to 1966 and is the second straight year in which
solutions of this crime had decreased. Although
rape is primarily a young adult crune, 14 percent
of the cases which were solved involved persons
under the age of 18.
Persons Arrested
Males in the 17 to 19 year age group again
constituted the greatest concentration of arrests
for forcible rape in 1967. Total arrests for this
offense increased 3 percent, with arrests of persons
under 18 years of age up 7 percent in 1967 over
1966. Sixty-four percent of the arrests for forcible
rape during the year were of persons under the
age of 25. About 47 percent of the persons arrested
were Negroes, 51 percent whites, and all other
races comprised tlie remainder. Prior victimization
surveys have indicated that the Negro is also
primarily the victim in crimes agamst the person.
Persons Charged
Of all persons arrested for forcible rape in 1967,
74 percent were formally charged by police.
Thirty-seven percent of the adults charged with
forcible rape were found guilty of the substantive
offense. An additional 18 percent of the adults
charged were convicted of a lesser offense. Pro-
secutive problems accounted for acquittals and/or
dismissals in 44 percent of the cases, up from 42
percent in 1966. Juvenile referrals amounted to
21 percent of the forcible rape charges in 1967.
ROBBERY
This crime involves the stealing or taking of
anything of value from the person by use of force
or threat of force. Assaults to rob and attempts
are included. This is a violent crime and fre-
(juently results in injiuy to the victim. For crime
reporting purposes data on robbery is collected
for armed robbery where any weapon is used,
and strong-arm robbery where no weapon, other
than personal weapons, is employed. The latter
category includes crimes such as mugging, yoking,
etc.
Volume
During calendar year 1967, there were an esti-
mated 202,050 robberies committed in the United
States, a significant increase over the 157,320
offenses which occurred in this classification in
1966. This offense makes up over 5 percent of the
total Crime Index and comprises appro.ximately
41 percent of the crimes of violence. In 1967, these
offenses occurred most frequently during the
period October through December.
Geographically, the heaviest volume of robbery
again occurred in the North Central States,
which recorded 31 percent of the total in 1967.
The percentage distribution in the other geo-
graphic regions showed the Northeastern States
had 28 percent, the Southern States 23 percent
and the Western States 18 percent.
Trend
As in 1966, robbery once again led all other
Crime Index offenses in the percentage increase
in volume with a 27 percent rise and since 1960
this violent crime has increased 88 percent in the
United States. Robbery, like the other crimes
of violence, is primarily a big city problem.
Large core cities with over 250,000 population
witnessed a 28 percent rise in the volume of rob-
bery. Suburban areas surrounding the large core
cities also recorded a 28 percent increase, while
the rural areas witnessed a 9 percent upswing.

While robbery increased in rural areas, the more
significant increases occurred in the large cities
and the suburban areas.
There were substantial increases in robbery in
each geographic region. Tlie Southern States had
the sharpest increase with a 34 percent upswing,
while the Northeastern States were up 30 percent,
the Western States 28 percent and the North
Central States 23 percent.
The accompanying chart depicts the long-term
trend in robbery and robbery rate, 1960-1967.
Robbery Rofe
The 1967 robberj' rate was 27 percent higher
than 1966, with 102 victims per 100,000 popula-
tion and 70 percent above the 1960 rate. Robbery
is a big city crime. The 56 large core American
cities with over 250,000 population accounted for
7 1 percent of all robberies.
Cities with over 250,000 inhabitants had a
robbery rate of 330 ^nctims per 100,000 popida-
tion. There were 38 robbery victims per 100,000
in the suburban areas, up 24 percent over the
preceding year, and 1 1 victims in the rural sections
of the country. Robbery rates in the larger cities
were almost 9 times as great as they were in the
suburban areas, again illustrating the fact that
robbery rates tend to increase in proportion to
density of population. On a geographic basis, this
crime occurred most frequently in relation to
population in the Northeastern States where the
rate was 117, 29 percent higher than 1966. The
North Central States followed with a rate of 116
which was a 22 percent increase, the Western
States 109, a 27 percent rise, and the Southern
States 75, a 33 percent increase.
Nature of Robbery
Supplemental information is obtained from
cities with popidations of 25,000 or more as to
robbery by type as a part of the monthly collection
of statistical data under this Program. In 1967,
these figures disclosed that 54 percent of the
robberies were committed in the street. Bank
robbery witnessed a significant 45 percent increase
in 1967, with the average bank robbery dollar
loss in excess of $5,000.

The long-term trends in robbery by type, as
illustrated by the following charts, show bank
robbery has had a sharp increase of 278 percent
since 1960. During this same period, 1960-1967,
gas or service station holdups have risen 123
percent, chain store robberies 156 percent, robber-
ies in residences 64 percent, and holdups of other
commercial or business establishments 60 percent.
Armed perpetrators were responsible for com-
mitting 58 percent of the robbery offenses during
1967, while the remaining 42 percent were mug-
gings, yokings, or other violent confrontations
where personal weapons were used to subdue or
overcome the victim. Since 1964 armed robbery
has increased 58 percent and unarmed robbery
53 percent.
During 1967, a special survey was conducted to
determine the types of weapons used in armed
robbery. The results of this survey indicate that
63 percent of all armed robbery is committed with
a firearm, 24 percent with a knife or other cutting
instrument and 13 percent with blunt objects such
as clubs, etc. In 1967 there were over 73,000
robberies with the use of a firearm.
It shoiJd be remembered that the fidl impact
of this violent crime on the victims cannot be
measured fully in terms of dollar loss. While the
object of the attack is money and personal objects,
many victims of the mugger and the strong-arm
robber, as well as the armed robber, suffer serious
personal injury as a result of the attack. During
the last calendar year, the average value loss to
the victims of robbery was $261 for a total loss
of approximately $53 million.

by arrest involved adults. Fourteen jiercent of the
armed robberies and 34 ])ercent of the strong-arm
type which were cleared, involved arrests of per-
sons under 18 years of age.
Persons Arrested
Nationally, arrests for robbery increased 19
percent in 1967 when compared to 1966. Arrests
in cities wliere volume is the heaviest were up IS
percent, in the suburban areas up 22 percent and
in the rural sections of the country a 16 percent
rise was noted.
Arrest data discloses that 73 percent of the
persons arrested for this crime were under 25 years
of age and 54 percent were under 21 years of age.
Nationally, 32 percent of the persons arrested
for robbery were under 18. This greater propor-
tion of j'oung age arrests compared to solutions is
accounted for in part by the fact they act in
groups such as in strong-arm robbery. Robbery
arrests for this young age group recorded an
increase of 20 percent in 1967 over 1966. In the
suburban areas, young persons made up 22 percent
of the robbery arrests and in the rural areas 15
percent. Again in 1967, 5 of every 100 persons
arrested for robbery were females; however
arrests of women for this offense rose 25 percent
in 1967 when related to 1966.
From the standpoint of race, 61 percent of
those arrested were Negroes, 38 percent were
white and all other races made up the remainder.
Persons Charged
In 1967, police formally charged 67 percent of
all persons arrested for robbery. Sixty-three
percent of the persons charged with these crimes
were adults and 37 percent were juveniles whose
cases were referred to juvenile court jurisdiction.
It is interesting to note that in 1966, 67 percent
of the persons charged were adidts and 33 percent
were juveniles. Of the adults charged in 1967, 49
percent were convicted of robbery, 17 percent
were convicted on a charge less than robbery and
34 percent were acquitted or their cases were
dismissed.
BURGLARY
Under this Progi-am, burglarj' is defined as the
unlawful entry of a structiu'e to commit a felony
or theft, even though no force was used to gain
entrance, and attempts. Collection of crime counts
in this category is broken down into three sub-
classifications: forcible entry, unlawful entry where
no force is used, and attempted forcible entry.
Volvme
In 1967, there was an estimated total of
1,605,700 burglaries. Volumewise, there was an
increase of 218,500 offenses over 1966. In 1967
the large cities over 250,000 popiUation accounted
for 40 percent of all burglaries. This offense makes
up 42 percent of the Crime Index offenses and
almost 49 percent of the voluminous property
crimes. The Southern States reported 27 percent
of the total volume, the Northeastern States 25
percent and the Western and the North Central
States 24 percent each.
Highs were recorded during the last half of
1967, with the peak month being December.
Trend
Since 1960, burglary nationally has increased
79 percent. In 1967, burglary rose by 16 percent
over 1966. Big cities over 250,000 and suburban
areas were up 16 percent. The rural areas were up
15 percent. By region, the North Central States,
as a group registered the largest overall gain,
up 19 percent. The Western, Northeastern, and
Southern States were each up 15 percent.
Burglary Rate
The long term rise in the burglary rate, 1960-
1967 was 62 percent. A sharp rise occurred in
1967, up 15 percent over 1966. Again the crime
rate equates the number of offenses per 100,000
population and this continuing upward trend in-
dicates the increasing number of victims of bur-
glary both residential and nonresidential. The
Western States recorded the highest burglary rate
in 1967 with 1,188 offenses per 100,000 popula-
tion, followed by the Northeastern States 833,
the Southern States 706, and the North Central
States 685. Cities over 250,000 population re-
ported a rate of 1,474 per 100,000 population while
the suburban and rural areas showed rates of 679
and 349 respectively.
Nature of Burglary
This crime is one of stealth and opportunity
committed by amatevu-s and professionals alike.
In 1967, 78 percent of the burglaries involved
forcible entry, while 15 percent were unlawful
entry without force and 7 percent were attempts.
Residence burglary accounted for 49 percent of
the total while nom-esidential amounted to 51 per-

cent in 1967. Daytime burglaries of residences rose
by 20 percent in 1967, and accounted for almost
half of these offenses. Since 1960, there has been
an increase of 187 percent in daytime residence
burglaries. Unattended apartments and homes
during daytime hovirs are easy prey for the bur-
glar. Daytime burglaries of nonresidences rose 28
percent in 1967 but accounted for only 5 percent
of the total.
As a group, residential and nonresidential night-
time burglary represented 71 percent of the total
volume. Suppression and detection are partic-
ularly difficult due to the tremendous volume of
these offenses and the thinness of police patrols.

In 1967, property owners sufTered an economic
loss of over $438 million, with an average dollar
loss of $273 per burglary.
Clearances
Solutions were accounted for in 1 out of every 5
cases of burglary in 1967. This low clearance rate
indicates the lack of a deterrent and little risk of
detection.
Burglary solutions dropped 8 percent in 1967.
Adults were identified in 59 percent of all cases
solved while young persons under 18 were identi-
fied in 41 percent. Solution levels were fairly con-
sistent in all popidation groups. Law enforcement
agencies in cities 250,000 and above cleared up
20 percent in 1967. In the subiu-ban areas where
manpower shortages are most acute and where
the burglary rate is rising the fastest, 19 percent
were solved while 23 percent were cleared in the
rural areas.
Persons Arrested
In 1967, total arrests for biu-glary increased 12
percent. Arrests of persons under 18 years of age
increased 11 percent and arrests of persons 18
years and over increased 13 percent. Burglary
arrests increased by 12 percent in the city, 13
percent in suburban areas and 7 percent in rural
areas in 1967. An analysis of the eight-year period,
1960-1967, reflected a 28 percent increase in
burglary arrests. Arrests of individuals under the
age of 15 increased 43 percent and those under the
age of 18 years 41 percent, while arrests of adult
burglary offenders increased 17 percent.
Nationally, persons under 25 accounted for 82
percent of all arrests for burglary in 1967. Of the
total, young persons under 18 accounted for 54
percent of all police arrests for this crime. Of all
arrests for this oflfense, females were involved in 4
of every 100. Arrests of whites outnumbered
Negroes by more than 2 to 1.
Persons Charged
Nationally, in 1967, police placed formal charges
against 7 of every 10 persons they arrested for
burglary. Well over one-half, 58 percent, of the
persons charged were juveniles who were referred
to juvenile court jurisdiction. Of the adults
charged for this crime, 54 percent were found
guilty as charged, 17 percent were convicted of a
lesser charge, and 29 percent were freed tlirough
acquittal or dismissal of charges.
LARCENY-THEFT
Larceny-theft is the unlawful taking or stealing
of property or articles of value without the use of
force or violence or fraud. It includes crimes such
as shoplifting, pocket-picking, purse-snatching,
thefts from autos, thefts of auto parts and acces-
sories, bicycle thefts, etc. In the Uniform Crime
Reporting Program this crime category does not
include embezzlement, "con" games, forgery, and
wortliless checks. Auto theft, of course, is excluded
from this category for crime reporting purposes
inasmuch as it is a separate Crime Index ofifense.
The Crime Index offense of larceny is limited to
those thefts where the value of the goods stolen
is $50 or more.
Vol
ume
Larceny is the second most voluminous Index
crime, exceeded only by burglary. In 1967 there
were 1,047,100 offenses of larceny $50 and over,
up from 894,600 in 1966. This crime makes up 28
percent of the Crime Index total. From a seasonal
standpoint, larceny conforms to a general pattern
which remains relatively stable throughout the
year. Larceny has a tendency to reach a peak in
August and there was, in addition, a general up-
swing toward the end of 1967, similar to the ex-
perience of the two prior years.
Offenses of larceny-theft were distributed quite
evenly throughout all geographic regions. The
North Central States contributed 23 percent to
the total, the Western States 25 percent, and the
Northeastern and Southern States 26 percent each.
Trend
In 1967, the Index offense of larceny $50 and
over recorded a 17 percent increase over 1966
and this crime has increased 107 percent in vol-
ume since 1960. In 1967, substantial increases
were noted in all population groups with cities
over 250,000 population up 17 percent. The subur-
ban area increased 15 percent and the rural areas
registered a 10 percent upward trend.
Geographically, larceny increased 20 percent in
the North Central States and 18 percent in the
Western States, 16 percent in the Northeastern
States and 15 percent in the Southern States.
Larceny Rate
During 1967 the larceny crime rate rose to 529
offenses per 100,000 population, a sharp 16 per-

cent jump over the rate in 1966 and an 87 percent
rise over 1960. This rate rise was reflected in all
population groups and in all geographic regions.
In 1967, the large core cities registered a victim
risk rate in this offense of 913 per 100,000 popu-
lation. The suburban larceny rate was 460, and
the rural rate was 195. Viewed geographically,
tlie Western States reported the highest larceny
rate with 801 offenses per 100,000 population
which was 16 percent above 1966. The North-
eastern States had a rate of 562, up 15 percent,
the Southern States 434, up 14 percent, and the
North Central States 443, an increase of 19 per-
cent in the rate.
Nature of Larceny -theft
The average value of property stolen in each
larceny in 1967 was $95, up from $74 in 1960.
This average value includes losses from the vol-
uminous thefts under $50 in value, of which there
were 2,032,000 in 1967. When average value is
applied to the estimated crimes in this category,
the dollar loss to victims is in excess of
$292,000,000. It is true that a portion of the goods
stolen is recovered and returned to victims, but
the relatively low percentage of these crimes
cleared by arrest indicates these recoveries will
not materially reduce the overall victim loss. In
addition, of course, many offenses in this cate-
gory, particularly where the value of the stolen
goods is small, never come to police attention.
vSince dollar valuation of property stolen in
thefts determines whether or not a theft becomes
a Crime Index offense, economic conditions are a
factor. The rising cost of living with its upward
influence on price, coupled with increased de-
mand for more expensive commodities, present
greater criminal opportunity and also exert some
unreal effect on the larceny $50 and over trend.
For example, the Consumer Price Index has risen
13 percent since 1960. Likewise, the average value
of property stolen in larceny has increased 28
percent 1960 to 1967. However, during the same
period, the volume of thefts $50 and over has climb-
ed 107 percent.
The average value of goods and property
reported stolen by victims of pickpockets was
$90, by purse-snatchers $50, by shoplifters $28, by
thefts from autos $136 and by miscellaneous
thefts from buihiings $166.
From one year to another, the distribution of
larceny as to tjT^e of theft remains relatively
constant. As in prior years, a major portion of
these thefts, 40 percent, represented thefts of
auto parts and accessories and other thefts from
automobiles. Other major types of thefts which
contributed to the large number of these crimes
were thefts from buildings, 17 percent and stolen
bicycles, 16 percent. Miscellaneous types of
larcenies, not falling into any of the specific
categories for which statistics were collected made
up 14 percent of the total. The remainder was
distributed among pocket-picking, purse-snatch-
ing, shoplifting and thefts from coin-operated
machines.
The following table presents distribution of
larceny by type in large cities, suburban and
rural areas. Cities and suburban areas appear to
have similar characteristics except for pocket-
picking and purse-snatching which are con-
siderably less in the suburban or residential areas.
This, of course, is to be expected as these theft
opportunities flourish where population is highly
concentrated. It is interesting to note that figures
for shoplifting are quite similar in the city and
suburban areas while there is a decided drop in
the rural area. The shopping center which is still
largely absent in rural areas certainly has its
effect on these figures. Thefts from autos make up
19 percent of larceny in large cities but only
12 percent in small cities and counties. Theft of
automobile accessories in the city and suburban
areas are about equal while there is a decided
drop in these type thefts in the rural area. Again,
the large concentration of population and ve-
hicles as well as the accessibility of vehicles in the
city and suburban areas apparently account for
these distributions.

Clearances
The nature of larceny, a crime of opportunity,
sneak thievery and petty unobserved thefts,
makes it an extremely difficult one for law en-
enforcement officers to solve. A lack of witnesses
and the tremendous volume of these crimes work
in the thief's favor. In 1967, 18 percent of the
larceny offenses brought to police attention were
cleared by arrest. Involvement of the young age
group is demonstrated by the fact that 44 percent
of these crimes which were cleared in the Nation's
cities were solved by arrests of persons vmder 18
years of age. Juvenile clearance figures for subur-
ban areas and rural areas were 45 percent and 30
percent respectively.
The larceny clearance percentages were con-
sistent in all population groups ranging from
16 percent in the suburbs to a high of 19 percent
in the cities of 100,000 to 250,000 inhabitants and
in the rural areas. Nationally, however, larceny
solutions declined 3 percent when compared to
1966.
Persons Arrested
Forty-five percent of the total arrests for serious
crimes in 1967 were for larceny. Arrests for this
crime were up 7 percent, 1967 over 1966. Volume-
wise, 55 percent of these arrests were of persons
under 18 years of age and when individuals under
21 were considered, the ratio jumped to over two-
thirds. When examined by sex of arrested persons,
it was determined that females comprise 24 percent
of all arrests for larceny-theft and have a higher
involvement in this offense than for any of the
serious crimes. In fact, women were arrested more
often for larceny than any other offense except
drunkenness.
Arrests of females rose by 12 percent in 1967
while arrests of males rose by 5 percent. Arrests of
whites outnumbered Negroes by over 2 to 1 with
all other races comprising about 2 percent of the
arrests for larceny-theft. During the period 1960-
1967, arrests for larceny increased 51 percent. It
is significant to note that arrests of individuals
luider the age of 15 increased by 72 percent and
under the age of 18 by 66 percent while arrests of
adults increased 36 percent.
Persons Charged
Police charged more than twice as many
offenders for larceny-theft than for any other
serious offense. Of those arrested for larceny-theft,
76 percent were formally charged and held for
prosecutive action, and almost one-half, 45 per-
cent, of those so charged were juveniles. Adults
were found guUty as charged in 70 percent of the
cases, guilty of a lesser charge in 5 percent, and
had their cases dismissed or were acquitted in
25 percent.
AUTO THEFT
In Uniform Crime Reporting, auto theft is
defined as the unlawful stealing or driving away
of a motor vehicle, including attempts. This
definition excludes taking for temporary use when
the vehicle is actually returned by the taker pro-
viding prior authority for its use has been granted
or can be assumed.
Volume
In 1967, an estimated 654,900 motor vehicles
were reported stolen compared to thefts of 557,000
the year before. These thefts occurred at an aver-
age rate of more than one a minute throughout
the year. Geographically, the volume of auto theft
was highest in the Northeastern States which
reported 30 percent of the total number of these
crimes. Next in order were the North Central
States 27 percent, the Southern States 22 percent,
and the Western States 21 percent. This crime
makes up 17 percent of the total Crime Index
offenses. Seasonal variations disclose auto theft
generally reaches its peak in the fall of the year
and 1967 was no exception in this respect with
October the high volume month.
Trend
Auto thefts in 1967 increased 18 percent in
volume when compared with 1966. Since 1960,
this crime has risen steadily recording a 101 per-
cent increase over the 8-year period. The theory
that there are more auto thefts solely because
there are more autos is invalid when it is shown
that the percentage increase in auto theft has
more than doubled the percentage increase in
automobile registrations since 1960, and more
than doubled the percentage increase in the young
age i)opulation, 15 to 24 years.
Auto theft increases in all areas contributed to
the overall 18 percent rise in 1967. On the average,
large cities with 250,000 or more population had
an 18 percent upward trend, the suburban areas
registered a 19 percent upswing, and the rural areas
were up 5 percent in these crimes during 1967.
Geographically, the theft of autos showed the
sharpest upward trend in the Northeastern States
with a 25 percent increase followed by the North

Central States up 17 percent. The Southern States
were up 15 percent, and the Western States had
an 1 1 percent rise. The preceeding chart shows the
increase in auto thefts since 1960.
Auto Theft Rate
In auto theft, as in other Crime Index offenses,
there was a substantial increase in the rate in 1967
over 1966. From 284 victims per 100,000 popula-
tion in the earlier year, the rate rose to 331 in
1967, a jump of 16 percent. The auto theft rate
has risen 82 percent since 1960. There were more
persons unlawfully deprived of their motor vehi-
cles, 901 per 100,000 population, in the cities with
500,000 to one million inhabitants than in any
other popidation group. In this regard, as a part
of a special study it was found that 30 percent of
the autos stolen in the District of Columbia were
owned by nonresident victims. This is undoubtedly
true in other large core cities because of the high
mobility of the general population.
Nationally, the auto theft rate in the large cities
averaged 776. In the suburbs the rate was 205,
and in the rural areas the auto theft rate was 68.
The auto theft rates by geographic region dis-
closed the Western States were high with 418. The
Northeastern States reported a rate of 400, the
North Central States 322, and the Southern
States 239 thefts per 100,000 inhabitants.
Nationally, in 1967 one of every 123 registered
autos was stolen or a rate of 8.1 per 1,000 regis-
tered autos. Regionally, the highest registration
theft rate appeared in the Northeastern States
where 11.0 cars per 1,000 registered vehicles were
stolen. In the 3 other regions the figures were 9.0
in the Western States, 7.6 in the North Central
States, and 6.0 in the Southern States.
Nature of Auto Theft
Auto theft rates are indicative of the fact that
this is primarily a big city problem, since the
highest rates appear in the most heavUy populated
sections of the Nation. In 1967, the average value
of stolen automobiles was $1,017 at the time of
theft and although police recovered 86 percent of
the stolen vehicles, the remaining unrecovered 14
percent represented a loss of over $93,000,000 to
the victims. This loss figure does not take into
consideration the monetary loss resulting from
damage to the vehicles, property and persons
which are a direct result of these crimes.
Uniform Crime Reporting special studies in the
past have documented auto theft as primarily a
28
crime of opportunity. The youthful offender who
is most often involved finds the vehicle subject to
theft conveniently ready to drive away or the
ignition easily compromised.
Clearances
Due to the fact that two-thirds of the auto
thefts occur at night and over one-half are from
private residences, apartments or streets in resi-
dential districts, law enforcement agencies were
successful in solving only 20 percent of these
thefts by arrest of the offender. The crimes occur
under cover of darkness and there are seldom
any witnesses. On the other hand, police nationally
are successful in recovering about 86 percent of all
stolen cars. About 55 percent of stolen vehicles
are taken and recovered within 48 hours. Al-
though recovery of the vehicle does not clear the
offense, the property is available for return to the
victim. This high recovery percentage can be
attributed to the fact that approximately 75
percent of the cars stolen are used for transporta-
tion or the purpose of the theft is unknown. The
remainder were taken for resale, stripping for
parts, or use in another crime.
In the Nation's largest cities 19 percent of the
auto thefts were cleared during 1967. Police in
the suburban areas were somewhat more success-
ful having cleared 24 percent. Throughout the
country auto theft clearance percentages ranged
from 16 percent in the Middle Atlantic States to
25 percent in the Mountain States.
In all geographic divisions and population
groups the participation of the young age group
population is indicated by the high proportion of
these clearances which were by arrests of persons
under 18 years of age. In the large core cities,
54 percent were solved by an arrest in this age
group while juvenile clearances accounted for
43 percent in the suburbs and 42 percent in the
rural areas.
Persons Arrested
Persons arrested for auto theft come principally
from the young age group population. In 1967, 62
percent of all persons arrested for this crime were
under 18 years of age and, as a matter of fact, 17
percent were under 15 years of age. When persons
imder 21 are included in the computations, 80
percent of the arrests for auto theft are accounted
for. Of all Crime Index offenses, auto theft had,
by far, the largest proportion of arrests of persons
under 18.
The national trend in anto tlieft arrests dis-
closed a 5 percent increase in 1967 wlien conijiared
to 1966. Adult arrests rose 8 percent while arrests
of persons under IS increased 4 percent. (Con-
sidering: the eight year period, 19t)0 19G7, auto
ilicft arrests uicreased 53 percent. Arrests of
individuals under the age of 15 increased 61
l>ercent and individuals under the age of IS
increased 54 percent during this period.
The long-term arrest trend for adults disclosed a
51 percent increase in arrests for auto theft, 1960
through 1967.
Next to burglary, auto theft as measured by
arrests showed the least participation by females.
Only 4 percent of persons arrested in 1967 were
female and female arrests for auto theft increased
11 percent. Females under 15 recorded a 19 percent
increase in arrests for auto theft. Whites made up

67 percent of the arrests for auto theft, Negroes
31 percent and all other races the remaining 2
percent. During the 1960's arrests for auto theft
involving young Negroes have more than doubled.
Persons Charged
Again, the involvement of the young age group
population is made clear through police reports
showing 66 percent of all persons charged for auto
theft in 1967 were referred to juvenile court
jurisdiction. No other Crime Index offense results
in such a high percentage of juvenile referrals.
When the remaining adult offenders were con-
sidered as a group, 55 percent of those prosecuted
on charges of auto theft were found guilty as
charged, 14 percent were convicted or plead
guilty to a lesser charge and 31 percent were
acqiutted or their cases were dismissed.
CLEARANCES
In this Program police clear a crime when they
have identified the offender, have sufficient
evidence to charge him and actually take him
into custody. Crime solutions are also recorded
in exceptional instances when some element be-
yond police control precludes formal charges
against the offender, such as the victim's refusal
to prosecute or local prosecution is declined
because the subject is being prosecuted elsewhere
for a crime committed in another jurisdiction.
The arrest of one person can clear several crimes
or several persons may be arrested in the process
of clearing one crime.
The percentage of Index Crimes cleared by law
enforcement agencies in 1967 was a substantial
8 percent below the clearance percentage in 1966.
Whereas police nationally cleared 24.3 percent of
these offenses in 1966, this dropped to 22.4
percent in 1967. The decrease was noted in every
Crime Index offense with auto theft solutions
having the sharpest decline, down 11 percent,
while robbery and burglary clearances declined
8 percent each. Decreases in solutions were uni-
versally reported by all population groups and by
all geographic divisions. The highest overall
Crime Index clearance rate regionally was re-
corded by the North Central and Southern States
24 percent, followed by the Western States 21
percent and the Northeastern States 20 percent.
Reports submitted by law enforcement agencies
in 1967 disclosed police were successful in solving
88 percent of tiie murder offenses, 61 percent of
the reported forcible rapes, 69 percent of the ag-
gravated assaults and 30 percent of the robberies.
Solutions in the property crime categories showed
police cleared 20 percent of the burglaries, 18 per-
cent of the larceny-thefts and 20 percent of the
auto thefts. Police are able to clear a higher per-
centage of the crimes against the person, not only
because of the more intense investigative effort
afforded these violent offenses, but also due to the
smaller volume of these crimes requiring police
attention and, more importantly, because wit-
nesses are usually available who can identify the
perpetrators.
Offenses Cleared by Arrests of Juveniles
It has been noted in several prior sections of
this publication that persons under 18 years of
age are becoming increasingly involved with poUce
through commission of serious crimes. Persons
10-17 years of age make up approximately 15 per-
cent of the total United States population. One
means of measuring the involvement of the young
age group in crime is to identify the number of
crimes in which they are the offenders. In 1967,
33 percent of all Crime Index offenses solved in-
volved persons under 18 years of age. It is signifi-
cant to note, however, that while juvenile clear-
ances remained unchanged from 1966, this is up
from their 31 percent involvement in 1964.
Arrests of juveniles resulted in clearing 33 percent
of the suburban Crime Index offenses and 30 per-
cent of those in the rural areas, unchanged from
1966.
There are a number of factors influencing the
overall decline m the police solution rate. These
include court decisions which have resulted in
restrictions on police investigative and enforce-
ment practices, sharply increasing police work-
loads not limited to crime increases, an almost
static ratio of police to population not com-
mensurate with the sharp rise in crime, and con-
stant increasing criminal mobilitJ^ Clearance
tables are published beginning on page 104.
PERSONS ARRESTED
In 1967, arrests for all criminal acts, excluding
traffic, increased 4 percent. Nationally, there were
37 arrests for each 1,000 persons in the United
States. In 1966, there were 36 arrests for each
1,000 inhabitants. The arrest rate for big cities
as a group was 51 per 1,000 [)()pulation, up
from 49 in 1966, for suburban areas 24, up from
23 in 1966, and for the rural areas 17, an increase
from 14 in 1966. The total volume of city arrests

increased 4 percent, while the suburban volume
increased 9 percent and the rural trend rose 5
percent.
Arrests are primarily a measure of police
activity. Arrest practices, policies and emphasis
will vary from place to place and within a com-
munity from time to time. The volume of police
arrests for certain unlawful conduct such as
drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and certain
local ordinances is particularly influenced by the
above. On the other hand, robbery, burglary,
and other arrests for serious crimes are more
likely the result of standard procedures. Arrests
are first a measure of poUce activity as it relates
to crime. Arrests do, however, provide a useful
uidex to measure involvement in crimmal acts
by the age, sex and race of the perpetrators,
particularly for those crimes which have a high
solution rate. Procedures used in this Program
require that an arrest be counted on each separate
occasion when a person is taken into custody,
notified, or cited. Arrests do not measure the
specific number of individuals taken into custody
since one person may be arrested several times
during the year for the same or different offenses.
As noted above, this happens frequently for
certain types of offenses against public order
such as drunkemiess, vagrancy, disorderly conduct
and related violations.
Arrest Trertds
For the period 1960-1967, police arrests for all
criminal acts, except traffic offenses, have risen 11
I)ercent. During this same period, police arrests
of persons under 18 years of age rose 69 percent
while the number of persons in this young age
group, 10-17, increased 22 percent. It is apparent,
therefore, the involvement of these young people,
as measured by police arrests, is continuing at a
pace more than three times then- percentage in-
crease in the national population. As pointed out
in prior issues, a relatively small percentage of
the total young age population become involved
in criminal acts, about 5 out of 100. There was
little change in the volume of adult arrests, 1960-
1967.
When only the serious crimes are used for trend
])urposes during this eight-year period, it is noted
arrests increased 45 percent. Arrests of juveniles for
Crime Index type offenses rose 59 percent and adult
arrests increased 34 percent. Arrests of juveniles
for violent crimes doubled, 1960-1967, while
arrests of persons under 18 for the property crimes
rose 56 percent. Adult arrests for violent crimes
for the same period were up 42 percent and for
property crimes 31 percent.
Age
Nationally, persons under 15 years of age made
up 10 percent of the total i)olice arrests; under 18,
24 percent; and under 21, 37 percent. In the sub-
urban areas, the involvement of the young age
group in police arrests is considerably higher than
the national figures witli tlie under 15 age group
represented in 13 percent; under 18, 34 percent;
and under 21, 48 percent. In the rural areas the
distributions were lower for the younger age
group, with the under 15 age group being in-
volved in 5 percent of total pohce arrests; under 18
in 21 percent, and those under 21 in 38 percent.
In reviewing arrest figures, it is important to
keep in mind that police arrest practices and
emphasis vary which will account for some vari-
ations in these statistics from year to year. It
is noted arrests of persons under 18 for Narcotic
Drug Law violations have increased sharply in
recent years. In fact, nationally, almost half of the
individuals arrested for violations of the Narcotic
Drug Laws were persons under 21 years of age.
Arrests for Narcotic Drug Law violations, 1967
over 1966, were up 60 percent nationally. From
1960 to 1967, arrests for this violation increased
165 percent. There is set forth a tabulation by
geographic region showing the type of narcotic
drug involved in the arrest of the offender in 1967.

In 1967, male arrests outnumbered female
arrests 7 to 1. Female arrests in 1967 rose by 7
percent while male arrests increased 4 percent.
Females were arrested in 14 percent of the serious
or Crime Index type offenses. Then- involvement
in these crimes was primarily for larceny which
accounted for more than 1 of every 6 female
arrests. Females accounted for 21 percent of the
forgery, 23 percent of the fraud and 19 percent of
the embezzlement arrests.
32
Long-term arrest trends, 1960-1967, reveal
that arrests for young females under IS years
of age rose 71 percent for auto theft and 76
percent for burglary. While arrests of young
males greatly outmimbered females during this
same period, nonetheless the percentage increases
in both these offenses were not so pronounced,
up 53 percent for auto theft and 40 percent for
burglary.
When the serious crimes, as a group are con-
sidered, arrests of males, 1960-1967, were up 38
percent and female arrests more than doubled
over this 8-year period.
Traffic
Supplemental data submitted by cities over
25,000 population relating to traffic enforcement
disclosed that nationwide, 54 percent of the cita-
tions and summonses issued and arrests made in
traffic matters were for parking violations. Hazard-
ous traffic violations accounted for 35 percent,
and other regulator^' violations 11 percent. In
the Southern States 51 percent of the traffic
arrests were for hazardous violations. In the
Western States 47 percent of the arrests were for
this type of infraction, in the North Central
States 35 percent, and in the Northeastern States
23 percent.

PERSONS CHARGED
Disposition data reveals the results of cases in
which law enforcement agencies have made an
arrest and subsequently formally charged the
offender in a court of jurisdiction. This information
is imi)ortant to the jiolice administrator in evalu-
ating the quality of the police investigation and
court presentation functions.
In 1967, 75 percent of the persons arrested for
Crime Index offenses were turned over to the
courts. Of the adults charged with Crime Index
offenses 61 percent were found guilty.
It must be recognized that not all arrested per-
sons are turned over to the courts for prosecution.
There are various reasons for this: failure of the
victim to cooperate or appear for the prosecution,
persons arrested are released with a warning,
evidence is obtained which discloses the arrested
person did not commit the offense or there is not
sufficient evidence obtainable to support either a
formal charge or a subsequent prosecution. For
example, about one-half of the juveniles arrested
are handled by the individual law enforcement
agencies without jjreferring a formal charge or
referring them to juvenile authorities. All con-
tributors to this Program are urged to obtain and
report final disposition in cases involving persons
they arrest. Tables containing this data commence
on page 109. Keep in mind that police methods
of handling juvenile offenders differ widely. Also,
the tables concerning juveniles (local age limit)
refer to those who were arrested and turned over
to juvenile authorities in connection with specific
criminal acts.
In 1967, 34 percent of the murder defendants
were either acquitted or their cases were dis-
missed at some prosecutive stage. Forty-four
percent of those charged with forcible rape were
acquitted or had their cases dismissed and 36
percent of the persons charged with aggravated
assault won their freedom tlarough acquittal or
dismissal.
Of the adults who were charged for Crime
Index offenses, 10 percent were found guilty of
a lesser crime and 29 percent were acquitted or
their cases were dismissed. The highest per-
centage of persons found guilty on the original
charge in 1967 was in the larceny- theft category
where 70 percent of the defendants were con-
victed for theft. This was followed by 55 percent
on the original charge for auto theft, 54 percent
for burglary, 49 percent for robbery, 48 percent
for aggravated assault, 47 percent for murder and
37 percent for forcible rape. The offense which
had the highest i)ercentage of a lesser charge
was forcible rape where 18 percent of the de-
fendants were convicted on some charge other
than rape. This offense also had the highest
33
percentage of acquittals and dismissals with 44
percent.
In 47 percent of the cases in the Crime Index
categories where formal charges were preferred,
the offender was referred to juvenile court juris-
diction. This referral percentage was down from
49 percent in 1966. Again, as in 1966, juvenile
referrals were highest for auto theft with 66 per-
cent. Young persons were referred to juvenile court
jurisdiction after being charged in 58 percent of
the burglary cases, 45 percent of the larceny, 37
percent of the robbery, 21 percent of the forcible
rape, 17 percent of the aggravated assault, and
8 percent of the criminal homicide.
In 1967, similar to the 1966 experience, offenses
of arson and vandalism recorded high percentages
of juvenile referrals. When all crime categories
are reviewed, it is noted that convictions on
original charges remained high in the offenses
against public order and decency — driving under
the influence, drunkenness, disorderly conduct
and vagrancy. Offenses against trust such as
fraud and embezzlement also recorded a high
percentage of conviction on original charges.
CAREERS IN CRIME
In January 1963, the FBI initiated a study of
criminal careers. At the end of calendar year
1967, 194,550 criminal histories of individual
offenders had been incorporated into the program.
The study is made possible by the cooperative
exchange of criminal fingerprint data among
local, state and Federal law enforcement agencies.
The all-important fingerprint card submitted to
the Identification Division of the FBI by these
law enforcement agencies contains information
which serves as a basis for statistical examination
of careers in crime. While there is a lack of imi-
formity in submissions made by all law enforce-
ment agencies for all criminal charges, generally
it is the practice to submit a cruninal fingerprint
card on all arrests for serious crimes, felonies,
and certain misdemeanors. Fingerprijiting by
police is a i)art of the "booking" procedure of
placing a formal charge against an arrested
person. The arrest and charge have substance and
differ from temporary detention for questioning or
investigation. On the Federal level almost all
])ersons arrested are fingerprinted by the arresting
Federal agency or United States Marshals.
Federal prisons, state penitentiaries and county
jails also submit fingerprint cards and related
data to the FBI Identification Division.
As the fingerprint card constitutes a positive
means of identification it becomes possible to
obtain each offender's criminal history. There is a
limitation, of course, in that the offender must
first be detected, arrested, and a fingerprint card
submitted at the time of arrest. Of equal impor-
tance is the disposition of each arrest which is also
requested. FBI Identification Division finger-
print files of known offenders iii this Program are
"flashed" to provide an accurate means of follow-
up concerning any future criminal involvement.
As additional i:iformation is accumulated on
these persons, it is added to the record which has
been jireviously stored in a computer. These
offenders are initially selected because they have
become involved in the Federal process by arrest
or release. The sample also includes serious state
violators arrested as fugitives under the Fugitive
Felon Act, as well as District of Columbia vdola-
tors. Specifically excluded from this study and
resulting tabulations are chronic violators of the
immigration laws and fingerprints submitted by
the military.
To gain insight into the career of criminal re-
peaters, an analysis was made of the records of
87,600 persons arrested in 1966 and 1967 for a
Federal crime or rearrested locallj^ in these years
after ha\ang been included in the Program pre-
viously due to involvement in the Federal Crimi-
nal Justice System subsequent to January 1,
1963.
Table A describes the distribution by age group
of these persons arrested in 1966 and 1967. The
emphasis upon the youthful offender is im-
mediately ajjparent from the age distributions.
It is noted that 48.2 percent of the persons in this
group were in their twenties or younger. Signif-
icantly over 70 percent of the offenders were
first arrested under the age of 25.

Leniency in the form of probation, suspended
-sentence, parole and conditional release iiad l)een
afforded to 55 percent of tlie offenders. After tlie
first lenienc}', this group averaged more than 5
new arrests. For the ])ur]ioses of this study,
probation, suspended sentence, parole and con-
ditional release are referred to as "leniency."
It goes without saying that probation and parole
ai'e sjjecial forms of treatment of criminals, but
since they represent a lesser punitive action than
incarceration, tlie term leniency is used to jioint
uj) tins clmracteristic.
Of tlio offender records which were processed,
71,731 were repeaters; that is they iiad a i)rior
arrest on some charge. The average criminal ca-
reer of the above repeaters amounted to more than
ten years (span of years from first to last arrest).
During the period of the criminal career this group
averaged over 6 arrests, 3 convictions and 2
imprisonments. Bear in mind that disposition data
is ajjproximately 80 percent complete w ith regard
to ])ersons committing felonies and slightly less
complete for those involved in misdemeanors or
minor offenses.
From an analysis of the mobility of these
repeaters a significant fact emerges — slightly
more than 43 j)ercent of these individuals confined
their criminal activity to one state and 57 jiercent
were arrested in two or more states during theii'
criminal career. Distribution by sex and race was
also considered and indicates that 93 percent
were males and 7 jiercent were females; 66 percent
were white, 30 percent Negro, and 4 percent all
other races.
These 87,000 individual criminal records are
made up primarily of Federal offenders who are
brought into the Program due to their involve-
ment in the Federal process. The fact that most of
the Federal crimes as defined by statute are also
local in nature permits one to infer that statistics
concerning local serious offenders would closely
ai)proximate those included in this study. The
violators contained in this Program generally are
serious offenders and, therefore, likely repeaters
since common law enforcement practice is gen-
erally not to submit a fingerprint card on minor
or petty crimes.
Profiles
Table B illustrates the jirofiles of known re-
l)eaters by type of crime. The table consists of
repeaters who were arrested in calendar year 1966
and 1967. It provides insight concerning the de-
gree to which repeaters contribute to crime counts
year in and year out.
These offenders included in Table B have been
arrested on at least two occasions and were
selected for inclusion in the study by type of
crime based on their last charge. The average age
of these offenders range from 27 years for the
auto thief to 45 years for the gambler. Considering

the auto thief who repeated in that offense, his
average age was 24 at the time of his first arrest
for auto theft. While the average age at first
arrest for the gambler who repeated was 39 years
of age, the extreme ranges of age for first arrest
for any offense were the gambler at age 30 and
the burglar at 19 years of age. A significant con-
sideration to bear in mind is that the average age
at first arrest is influenced upward since finger-
print cards are not submitted with any degree of
consistency on juvenile offenders.
Criminal careers of these offenders range from
16 years for the gambler to 7 years for tlie more
youthful auto thief. The burglar has the highest
rate of repeating during a criminal career followed
closely by those who were involved in felonious
assault, robbery, sex offenses, narcotics and
fraudulent checks.
The gambler ranked highest among those re-
peating in the same type of crime as indicated by
58 percent rearrest in this violation.
The narcotic offender and the burglar followed
closely with 56 and 55 percent, respectively. Of
the auto thieves, 42 percent repeated in auto
theft during the course of their criminal career,
while 37 percent of the robbers repeated in that
category. Those involved in fraudulent check ac-
tivities repeated at the rate of 48 percent in this
type of crime. For those offenders involved in
crimes against the person — murder, rape and felo-
nious assault — the repetition rate in the same
criminal act is much lower than property offenders.
The frequency of i)robation, suspended sentences
and parole granted to these offenders ranged from
37 percent for gambling to 65 percent for those
who had been charged with burglary. There
appears to be a similarity between the burglar and
the bogiis check offender in that 63 percent of the
latter were granted the above forms of leniency
and both of these criminal types have a high rate of
recidivism in the same type of offense. Leniency
was granted most frequently for specific charges
involving auto thieves, bogus check offenders and
the narcotic violators.
The gambler and narcotic violator have the
lowest rate of mobility with 66 and 53 percent,
respectively, arrested in the same state during the
course of their criminal career indicating the local
nature of these offenders.
Prior Charges
An analysis was conducted with regard to 87,600
individuals arrested in 1966 and 1967 with special
emphasis on the number and type charges prior
to their arrest in 1966 or 1967. It was found that
82 percent of these i)ersons had been arrested on a
prior charge, 70 percent were convicted of a prior
charge and 46 jiercent were not only convicted but
imprisoned for 90 days or more.
Of those arrested for the violent offenses of
murder, forcible rajie, felonious assault and rob-
bery, 4 percent, 14 percent, 26 percent and 33
percent respectively had a prior record of an arrest
for these same crimes. In the important area of
conviction, it was found that 75 percent of those
arrested in 1966 and 1967 for violent crimes
(murder, rape, felonious assault and robbery) had
been convicted of some prior charge. It is interest-
ing to note that 49 percent of these individuals
had not only been convicted but imprisoned on a
prior charge for 90 days or more.
A special analysis was made concerning the
crime of bank robbery and it was determined
that of 1,487 bank robbers arrested in 1966 and
1967, 82 percent had a prior arrest and 51 percent
had a prior arrest for a crime of violence.
The individuals involved in violent crimes were
compared with those who perpetrated property
crimes of burglary, larceny and auto theft. Consider-
ing those persons arrested in 1966 and 1967 on
property crime charges 50 percent, 41 percent and
36 percent respectively had a prior record of an
arrest for these very same offenses. In the area of
conviction, it was found that of the indivnduals
arrested in 1966 and 1967 for a property offense,
69 percent had been arrested and convicted of a
prior criminal charge; while 46 percent were con-
victed and imprisoned on a prior occasion for 90
days or more.
4 Year Follow-Up
A study has been made of persons included in
the Careers in Crime Program who were released
from custody in 1963. The records of these per-
sons were followed for the next four years with
the cutoff date for this study being December 31,
1967. Inasmuch as they were already part of the
Careers in Crime Program, new arrests were stored
on magnetic tape and necessary items for this
study specifically recalled.
Type of Release
Of all offenders (17,876) released to the streets
in 1963, 60 percent were rearrested on a new charge
within the four-year period. Chart 18 indicates
that persons arrested on a new charge within 4
years ranged from 33 percent for those released

\nth a fine and probation to 72 percent for offen-
ders granted a mandatory release by a penal in-
stitntion. The percentage figure for parole includes
174 persons handled by Pre-Release Guidance
Centers (Halfway Houses) of whom 68 ]>ercent
were arrested within four years. It is interesting
to note that 91 percent of those acquitted or dis-
missed in 1963 were arrested on a new charge
within four years.
As indicated earlier, formal police charge and
the submission of a fingerjirint card is done gen-
erally for felonies or serious misdemeanors. For
example, 18 percent of all rearrests were for
drunkenness, disorderly conduct, serious moving
traffic violations, and vagi'ancy. In most instances
these were secondarj' arrests of the same offender,
who also was arrested for a more serious offense.
The offenders wlio rejjeated during tlie four-year
period averaged .3 new arrests. Tiiis included
3,195 new arrests for crimes of violence and 7,839
for crimes against properlj'.
Age
A further examination of persons released in
1963 was made by age group. Chart 19 reflects the
percentage of persons, by age, \\"ho w ere arrested
on new charges after being released in 1963. The
overall high percentage figures are evident as well
as the large concentration among youthful
offenders.
The various types of treatment, i)robation,
parole and mandatory release for persons released
in 1963 when broken down by percentage figures
disclose the highest degree of recidivism was
among the more youthful offenders. Of those
granted probation 65 percent luider 20 years
of age and 60 percent in the age group 20
through 24 were arrested on new charges. Con-
sidering those who were granted a mandatory
release, 85 percent of those luider 25 repeated
within tlie four year ])eriod. Statistics describing
those i)ersons released on parole showed that 71
percent of the offenders under 20 years of age
and 67 percent of those 20 through 24 years of
age were repeaters witliin fovn- years.
Mobility
The tendency on the part of criminals to move
about the nation is illustrated by percentage
com|)arisons describing the amount of mobilitj-
of those persons who were rearrested after release
in 1963 (Chart 20). The 1963 group was followed

for fovir years and consisted of 10,723 repeaters.
For those granted parole, 65 percent of new
charges against these people were initiated in
another state, while 46 percent of the persons
released on probation and/or suspended sentence
were rearrested in a state other than the one in
whicli they were originally convicted. It is interest-
ing to note with respect to those who were ac-
quitted or their charges dropped, that 51 percent
traveled to another state and subsequently
FBI CHART
became involved with a law enforcement agency.
Table C which illustrates mobility by type of
charge further confirms the high percentage of
mobility.
While a high degree of mobility 52 percent for
these offenders released in 1963 is apparent
regarding all types of criminal offenders, some
types of criminal offenders are more mobile than
others. The narcotic offender and the gambler
are primarily local while the auto thief has a very
high degree of mobility.
Mobility is certainly an important factor with
regard to robbery and burglary offenders as almost
half of the new arrests for persons involved in
these types of crimes were made in states other
than where they were originally charged.
Type of Crime
The general tendency toward greater recidivism
appears in the group engaged in the more serious
tyi)es of crimes. This is demonstrated in Charts 21
and 22 whicli describe the percent of those released
on probation, parole or granted mandatory release

who accumulated new charges within four years
following their release in 1963. The percentage of
repeat for the group released on probation ranged
from 78 i)ercent for the auto thief, 74 percent for
the burglary offender and 71 percent for those in-
volved in narcotics to 19 percent released on em-
bezzlement charges.
A similarity exists for those released on parole in
1963. Of those released on parole 72 percent of
the auto thieves repeated, 68 percent of the
burglars repeated, while 60 percent of those in-
volved m narcotics offenses repeated. Only 22
percent of those released on parole for embezzle-
ment repeated over the foiu'-year period. While
a degree of recidivism is evident with respect to
all those released on probation, parole or granted
a mandatory release, there is obviously a higher
degree of recidivism among individuals in the more
serious crimes. It would appear that some types of
offenders, the embezzler for example, closely tied
to the community are better risks for rehabilita-
tion and respond more readily to treatment.
FBI CHART
The tendency toward a lesser degree of
recidivism among those persons released on
probation or fine and probation is understandable
when the type of offender is considered. Certain
types of crime, for example income tax evasion,
theft of Government property, liquor law viola-
tions, and embezzlement are perpetrated by
persons who generally have roots in the community
and are less likely to repeat. Many of these
offenders are granted probation or fine and pro-
bation, therefore, it can be expected that
recidivism will be lower when these types of
circumstances are considered.
Recidivism has been examined above with
regard to new charges and subsequent involve-
ment with law enforcement authorities. An
additional study was made concerning convictions
of subsequent charges to determine if the pattern
of recidivism carried over to the important area
of convictions. The study included all offenders
released to the street in 1963. By December 31,
1966, 57 percent of these persons were rearrested

on new charges. It was determined that of these
repeaters 40 percent were convicted of a new
offense by December 31, 1966.
There is a definite tendency toward early re-
cidivism. The group of individuals released in 1963
were followed over a four-year period, and the
percentage of offenders rearrested tabulated by
j'ear. It would appear that the longer a releasee
refrains from criminal involvement the greater
his chances are for successful rehabilitation. The
first two years appear to be critical and the

figures suggest a greater degree of supervision is
necessary during this period of time.
Table D breaks down the total fall-out into age
groups. The high degree of early recidivism is
obvious. There is a remarkable degree of con-
sistency in the low fall-out percentages in the
latter two years. The critical age group, 20 through
40, in particular exemplify the critical nature of
the first two years.
Conclusion
The high degree of recidivism in all types of
crime particularly predatory crime is evident from
the data presented in the Careers in Crime study.
Law enforcement's problem of the repeater or
hardcore criminal is compounded by their high
degree of mobility. These individuals place an
ever increasing burden upon law enforcement and
raise serious questions with respect to the effective-
ness of rehabilitation.
The accompanying tables provide added insight
into the problems of the repeater. The figures
are based upon a 4 year follow-up after the
offenders were released in 1963.

POLICE EMPLOYEE DATA
This publication, commencing on page 156, con-
tains tables showing average police employee
strength by geographic division and population
group, percentages of civilian employees, and an
individual listing of police employees for rejjorting
cities. Tables are published containing data rela-
tive to law enforcement officers killed and as-
saulted in the line of duty to supplement the nar-
rative material which follows.
Police Employee Rates
In 1967, the average number of police employees
per 1,000 ])opulation (including civilian personnel)
remained at 2, unchanged from the 1966 rate. It
should be recalled, however, the 5 percent increase
in the 1966 police employee rate was the first
change in the national average police employee
rate since 1960. The almost static growth in
police strength is overshadowed by the startling
growth of crime during the 1960's and the demands
placed on law enforcement for police service —
both criminal and noncriminal.
Most United States cities continue to operate
with a ])olice employee ratio of less than the na-
tional average of 2.0 per 1,000. When arrayed by
quartile, at least 50 jjcrcent of all American cities
have police employee ratios ranging from 1.2 to
l.S police employees per 1,000 inhabitants.
Nationally, large cities over 250,000 population,
as a group, had an average ratio of 2.7, unchanged
from 1966. Slight increases were noted in the
group of cities 50,000 to 100,000 inhabitants and
cities 25,000 and under in population.
The ratio of police employees to population in
the rapidly expanding suburban areas rose mi-
nutely (7 percent) in 1967 to 1.5, up from 1.4 in
1966. Again it should be noted these comnnmities
which are experiencing burgeoning populations
are also recording the fastest increases in the
volume of crime without a commensurate rise
in police protection. One-half the suburban
police departments have from 1.0 to 1.8 employees
per 1,000 inhabitants. The number of ])olice
employees in sheriffs' departments remained at
1.1 in 1967, unchanged from 1966, while about
one-half of the sheriffs' departments have from
0.4 to 1.0 emploj'ees per 1,000 population.
Geographically, cities in the Middle Atlantic
States had the liighest average ratio of police
employees to each 1,000 population with 2.7 while
cities in the West South Central States had the
lowest ratio with 1.4.
Civilian Employees
In Table 51 the percentage of total law enforce-
ment ))ersonnel represented by civilian employees
is tabulated by iJojjulation group. On the average,
during 1967, 11.8 percent of all city police em-
ployees were civilians, up from 11.0 percent in
1966. This upward trend of 7 percent in the ratio
of civilian employees existed in all but one city
population group (cities 500,000 to one million
inhabitants) and was also noted in suburban
agencies, up from 13.8 percent in 1966 to 13.9
percent. More and more law enforcement adminis-
trators are making gi-eater utilization of civilian
employees, thereby relieving sworn personnel for
active police duties. Difficulties in recruiting quali-
fied sworn personnel and increasing demands for
police service are obstacles which many knowl-
edgeable police administrators realize can only be
partially overcome by employing more civilians
for non-police functions.
Sworn Personnel
When police employee rates are computed on
the basis of sworn personnel only (excluding
ciAalian employees) the average rate for all cities
is 1.8 per 1,000 population (Table 50). This is up
by about 6 percent from 1.7 in 1966. The city
rates, nationally, range from 0.1 to 7.9. The sworn
personnel rate rose slightly in the suburban areas
as well to 1.3, up from 1.2 in 1966. Rates also
ranged in suburban areas from 0.1 to 7.9 in 1967.
Average strengths of sworn employees remained
unchanged in sheriffs' departments at 0.9. The
rate range for these departments was 0.1 to 9.2.
Caution should be exercised, however, in using
rates for comparative purposes since there is such
a wide variation in the responsibilities of various
law enforcement agencies around the country.
Just as the conditions which affect the amount
and type of crime that occurs from place to place
vary, so do the requirements for various types
of police service vary based u])on the conditions
which exist in a given community. For example,
the increased need for police service in a com-
munity which has a highly mobile or seasonal
population differs from a community which has
a relatively stable or fixed population. In addition,
a smaller community situated between two larger
areas may require a greater number of police

personnel to handle traffic enforcement due solely
to its geographic location. The functions of the
sheriffs also vary widely in different sections of
the country. In certain areas the sherifT's re-
sponsibilities are limited almost exclusively to
ci\Tl functions and/or the administration of the
county jail facilities. The departments used in
computing rates, however, are all engaged in
police acti\'ity and are responsible for all phases
of policing in their jurisdiction.
State Police and State Highway Patrols
The police employee strengths of State Police
and State Highway Patrol organizations are set
forth in Table 54. This table pro\ddes additional
data relative to the miles of primary highway and
the number of state motor vehicle registrations
per sworn employee, by state.
Police Activity
The volume and type of police activity, both
criminal and noncriminal, vary widely from place
to place. Likewise, police policy and practice are
not standardized, resulting in widely differing
arrest rates from one community to another.
The table below is provided to show the relative
police workloads by geographic region using
reported Crime Index offenses, criminal arrests
made and traffic charges issued per sworn police
officer.

The variations in officer workload set forth
above result from many factors. It assumes that
all sworn officers in all regions are assigned to
such duties. This is not the case. Many police
officers are fully engaged in administrative func-
tions, special assignments and other non-line
duties. The extent to which they are so occupied
varies by area. There are also variations by region
as to police discretion in charging an arrest, as
well as miscellaneous state laws not applicable in
other states. Enforcement practices also vary,
specifically with respect to offenses against public
decency and order.
It is pointed out the figures set forth in the
detailed police employee tables (Tables 49 and 50)
in this publication represent national averages.
They should be used as a guide and under no
circumstances should they be considered as rec-
ommended or desirable police strengths. Ade-
quate manpower for a specific place can only
be determined after a careful study and analysis
of the various factors which contribute to the
need for police service in that community.
POLICE KILLED
There were 76 law enforcement officers killed
by criminal action in 1967. This high number
of police killings was substantially above the
annual average of 48 from 1960 through 1966.
The addition of 76 police officers killed in 1967
raises the toll of these tragic deaths to 411 for
the 8-year period 1960-1967.
Types of Police Activity
In 1967 the tendency established in prior years
continued in that more law enforcement officers
met death by criminal action when effecting arrests
and handling prisoners than from any other cause.
Forty-two percent of the officers killed were
engaged in this type of activity. A portion of these
deaths could have been averted had the officer
victim been more vigilant when making arrests or
controlling prisoners instead of permitting these
assignments to become routine. Nine officers
were killed when their own weapons were seized
and used against them. These deaths demonstrate
a misplaced trust on the part of the officer victim
with respect to the occasional and unpredictable
violent nature of human behavior. Twenty per-
cent of the officer victims met death w hen answer-
ing disturbance-type calls such as family disputes,
man \vith a gun, riots, etc. Officers interrogating
or investigating suspicious persons accounted for
8 percent of the deaths and an additional 8 percent
of the officers were killed by mentally deranged
or berserk individuals, usually with no warning.
Thirteen percent of the police victims were killed
by robbers interrupted during the commission of
their crime or while being pursued, and 9 percent
of the officer victims were killed by burglars
caught in the act or fleeing the scene of their
crime.
The followmg table contains figures distribut-
ing police murders by geographic region and by
type of poUce activity for 1960-1967.

Weapons Used
Firearms continued to be the weapons used in
virtually all of tlie police killings in 1967, with 71
or 93 percent of the 76 officers killed through the
use of a firearm. Handguns were used in 54 of the
murders, siiotguns in 7, and a rifle in 10. An addi-
tional :i officers were killed by individuals using
personal weapons, such as hands, fists, feet, and 2
oflicers were deliberately run down and crushed
by aulomobiles. During the period 1960-19C7 fire-
arms liave been used in 96 percent of the police
killings. Of this group wiiere firearms were used,
77 percent of the weapons were handguns.
48
FBI CHART
Specifically, of the 411 law enforcement officers
slain by criminal action, the weapons used were
304 handguns, 52 shotguns, 38 rifles, 4 knives, 6
by personal weapons and 7 other means such as
clubs, vehicles, etc.
Years of Service
'i'hc median years of service of police officers
killed in the line of duty since 1960 remained at 6
years. Eleven jicrcent of tlie ])olice officers killed
had been active in law enforcement one year or
less, 44 percent had 5 years or less [)olice service
and 33 percent had 10 years or more of service.
Types of Assignment
Tlie officer on car patrol is constantly faced with
tense situations demanding; instant decisions and
response. He is usually the nuui first on the scene
in answer to most calls for police service and dur-
ing his routine patrols he is often confronted with
the need to question suspicious persons on foot
and in autos. He is the one most apt to come face
to face with the burglar, robber and other felons
caught in the act of committing a crime or hur-
riedly fleeing the scene of a recently completed
crime. As a result of these confrontations, each of
which is unique, the officer riding in a patrol car
most often becomes the victim of the police killer.
This does not imply that law enforcement
officers engaged in other types of police duty
(foot patrol, detective, etc.) are not likewise
presented with similar situations; they are, but
not as frequently.
Fifty-one officers on car patrol were killed in
1967. In addition 16 detectives or officers assigned
special duties, 5 technically off-duty officers, and
4 officers on foot patrol were killed in 1967. Due
to the fact that a law enforcement officer under
his oath of duty must take action at any time when
he observes a crime being committed, the five men
technically off duty sacrificed their lives when they
attempted to prevent the commission of a crime
occurring in their presence. Since 1960, 272 or 66
percent of the deceased officers were assigned to
car patrols.
During 1967, 44 of the officers who lost their
lives as a result of criminal action were assisted by
a fellow officer or officers at the scene of the crime
and 32 (42 percent) were alone. During the past
8 years, 1960-1967, 181 or 44 percent of the
officers died unassisted and 230 were receiving
help from other officers at the time they met
death.
The table showing the type of police duty to
which officers were assigned when they were
murdered cross-referenced to the type of police
activity in which they were engaged discloses the
highest incidence of police deaths resulted when
officers working in one-man patrol cars were
attempting to make arrests or were transporting
prisoners. Officers in two-man cars responding to
disturbance calls were next followed by officers in
two-man cars attempting arrests or transporting
prisoners. It should be kept in mind when review-
ing these figures that officers, even though as-
signed to one-man car patrol or foot patrol, were
often receiving assistance from fellow officers
on the scene at the time they were fatally wounded.
Since 1963 there has been a definite trend with
respect to police killings in two types of activity.
Police killings related to disturbance .calls in-
creased from 7 in 1963 to 15 in 1967; and in
attempting arrests and transporting prisoners, 17
to 32 during the same period.
Time of Murder
Consistent with prior years, more officers were
killed on Friday than any other day of the week.
For the 8-year period, 1960-1967, 78 poHce
killings occurred on Friday followed by 68 on
Saturday, 60 on Wednesday, 58 on Thursday, 55
on Sunday, 50 on Monday and 42 on Tuesday.
The hours of darkness continue, of course, to be
the most dangerous for the officers. Almost 73
percent of the officers were killed between the
hours of 4 p.m. and 4 a.m. The hours from 10
p.m. to 3 a.m. have proven to be the most danger-
ous with 150 law enforcement officers being killed
during these hours. The hour 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. has
seen more police officers killed than any other with
a total of 34, and the hours 11 p.m. to 12 midnight
and 12 midnight to 1 a.m. recorded 31 deaths each.

Police Killers
During the 8-year period, 1960-1967, 411 law-
enforcement officers have been murdered in the
line of duty. A review of the criminal histories of
the 539 offenders involved in these police murders
indicates 77 percent had been arrested on some
criminal charge before becoming involved in the
police killings. In fact, 54 percent of those offenders
with a prior criminal arrest had been previously
taken into custody for a violent crime such as
murder, rape, robbery, assault with intent to
kill, etc.
Among the 539 persons who were involved in
these police killings, 67 percent had prior con-
victions on criminal charges and, of this group,
two-thirds had been granted leniency in the form
of parole or probation on at least one of these
prior convictions. It is significant to note that
three of every ten of the murderers were on
parole or probation when they murdered a
police officer. Thirteen or 2 percent of these
individuals involved in a police killing had been
charged on some prior occasion with an offense of
murder.
During the period 1960 through 1967, these 539
individuals responsible for police killings had ac-
cumulated an average of almost 5 arrests each
during an average criminal career of 10 years.
Over the 8-year j)eriod 17 females have been
involved in the murder of police officers and in
all but one instance these females were with male
companions at the time of the murder. Consider-
ing race of police killers 337 or 63 percent were
white and 202 or 37 percent were Negro.
Ages of Police Killers
Persons involved in police murders ranged in
age from a boy of 13 to a man of 73 with a median
age of 27. Over the 8-year period 1960-1967 there
have been 35 juveniles (6 percent) under the age
of 18 arrested for the murder of a i)olice officer.
Almost one-half of the murderers were in the 20
to 30 age bracket with the age 25 appearing most
frequently.
Assaults on Police
One of the serious problems facing the law
enforcement officer today is the growing segment
of public disrespect for the police officer and the
failure of citizens to come to the aid of officers
being attacked as they attempt to perform their
lawfid duties. These attitudes certainly are, in
a large measure, responsible for the nationwide
increase of 11 percent in the rate of assaults on
law enforcement officers last year. Nationally
there were 13.5 assaults for 100 officers in 1967
up from 12.2 in 1966. Geographically the highest
assault rate occurred in the East South Central
States with 26.0 assaults for every 100 officers.
Also above the national average were assault
rates in the South Atlantic States with 17.1, the
Mountain States with 15.6 and the New England
States with 15.0 assaults for every 100 officers.
While every assault does not result in personal
injury, a high percentage — 40% in 1967 — did
result in physical harm to the officer victim and
usually loss of duty time. Table 53 sets out police
assault rates by geographic divisions and jjoji-
ulation groups for 1967.
Accidental Deaths
There have been 247 law enforcement officers
killed in accidents during the past 7 years, with
47 of these accidental deaths occurring in 1967.
These figures, of course, are in addition to the
officers who lost their lives through violent
criminal action. A review of the data on acci-
dental deaths discloses 138 of the deaths resulted
from automobile accidents and 57 from motorcycle
accidents. An additional 29 officers were killed
accidentally while directing traffic on foot or
at the scene of a serious accident. The remaining
23 deaths resulted from other types of accidents
such as accidental discharge of firearms, falls,
helicopter crashes, drownings, etc.

Introduction
Background
The Uiiifonn Crime Reporting Program is the
outgrowth of a need for a national and uniform
compilation of police statistics. This need was
expressed by law enforcement executives many
years ago. In 1930, crime reports were solicited
from police departments tliroughout the Nation
based on uniform classifications and procedures
develoi^ed by the Committee on Uniform Crime
Records of the International Association of Chiefs
of Police (lACP). In that year the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI), on request of the
above organization, assumed the role as the
national clearinghouse.
The Committee on Uniform Crime Records,
lACP, continues to serve in an advisory capacity
to the FBI in the operation of this Program. In
this connection, the Field Service Division of the
lACP is also playing an active and effective part
in quality control through surveys of jjolice record
and crime reporting systems. Dr. Peter P. Lejins,
Professor, Department of Sociology, University
of Maryland, continues as a consultant to the
FBI in the conduct of this Program.
During 1967 an Advisory Group to the Commit-
tee on Uniform Crime Records, appointed in 1966,
continued its activities in support of the develop-
ment and operation of the National Crime In-
formation Center (NCIC). This Center, a com-
puterized nationwide index of documented law
enforcement information on crime and criminals
became ojjerational on January 27, 1967, at FBI
Headquarters, Washington, D.C., and by the end
of the year was servicing several hundred local,
state and Federal police agencies throughout the
United States. Detailed information concerning
NCIC |)olicies and operating j)rocedures have been
published by the FBI in the National Crime
Information Center Operating Manual. This
manual has been widely distributed among local,
state and Federal law enforcement agencies. Also
published for the information of NCIC network
participants is a monthly NCIC Newsletter con-
taining timely information concerning the system
and its use.
At a meeting of the Advisory Group in May,
1967, two important resolutions were i)repared for
the parent committee on Uniform Crime Records
which contained police declarations most im-
portant to the future of law enforcement computer-
ized information systems. The first concerned
maintaining the confidentiality of police informa-
tion stored in systems shared with other Govern-
ment entities. It was resolved that the controls
governing access to police information remain as
they have been historically placed with the law
enforcement agencies. The second resolution con-
cerned the criminal identification record which
will serve as a source document for any integrated
information system for all areas of criminal justice.
This resolution encouraged all criminal justice
agencies to contribute information for this docu-
ment and recommended that a study be under-
taken to determine and recommend such standard
definitions and formats and to develop appropri-
ate procedures to insure the completeness of the
criminal identification record. The executive com-
mittee and the entire membership of the lACP
unanimously adopted the foregoing resolutions in
September, 1967.
Increased attention is being given to participa-
tion in the Uniform Crime Reporting Program
by sheriffs throughout the country. This was
evidenced by a resolution to take affirmative action
in encouraging such participation at the annual
conference of the National Sheriffs' Association
(NSA) in June, 1967. The resolution was drawn
up and presented by the Committee on Uniform
Crime Records, NSA, which Committee was es-
tablished in 1966 to serve in an advisory capacity
to NSA membership.
Committees on Uniform Crime Reporting
within state law enforcement associations are
active in providing service by promoting interest
in the Uniform Crime Reporting Program, foster-
ing more widespread and more intelligent use of
53
uniform crime statistics and by lending assistance
to contributors when the need exists.
Objectives
The fundamental objective of this Progi-am is
to produce a reliable fund of nationwide criminal
statistics for administrative and operational use
of law enforcement agencies and executives. At
the same time, meaningful data is provided for
other professionals with related interests in the
crime problem and for scholars, as well as to
inform the public of general crime conditions.
Specifically, the means utilized to attain these
goals are: (1) an attempt is made to measure
the extent, fluctuation and distribution of serious
crime in the United States through the use of a
Crime Index consisting of seven selected offenses.
This count is based on these seven offenses being
reported to the police or coming directly to their
attention. (2) The total volume of all types of
criminal offenses is compiled as they become
known by police arrests. (3) Since the above are
also measures of law enforcement activity, re-
lated data is collected to demonstrate effectiveness
of enforcement activities, available police strength
and significant factors involved in crime.
Reporting Procedure
Under this national voluntary system each
contributing law enforcement agency is wholly
responsible for compiling its own crime reports
for submission to the FBI. Each contributor is
supplied with the Uniform Crime Reporting
Handbook which outlines in detail procedures
for scoring and classifying offenses. The Hand-
book illustrates and discusses the monthly and
annual reporting forms, as well as the numerous
tally sheets made available to facilitate the
periodic tabulation of the desired data.
The publication of the Uniform Crime Report-
ing "Newsletter," which was initiated in October,
1963, has continued with issues being published
when pertinent. This "Newsletter" is utilized to
explain revisions in the Program as well as to
present information and instructional material
to assist contributors.
Recognizing that a sound records system is
necessary if crime reporting is to meet desirable
standards, the FBI furnishes a Manual of Police
Records to law enforcement agencies upon request.
Special Agents of the FBI are widely utilized to
encourage new contributors and to assist them
by explaining the procediu-es and definitions
necessary under this uniform system.
On a monthly basis, city police, sheriffs and
state police report the number of offenses that
become known to them in the following crime
categories: criminal homicide, forcible rape, rob-
bery, assault, burglary, larceny, and auto theft.
This count is taken from a record of all complaints
of crimes received by the police from victims or
other sources or discovered by the police in their
own operations. Complaints determined by police
investigation to be unfounded are eliminated
from this count. The number of "offel^ses known"
in these crime categories is reported to the FBI
without regard to whether anyone is arrested,
stolen property is recovered, local prosecutive
policy, or any other consideration. Police agencies
report on a monthly basis the total number of
these crimes which they clear by arrest and,
separately, the crimes cleared by the arrest of
persons under 18 years of age. Police additionally
report certain other analytical data pertaining
to specific crime categories, includmg total arrests
made for the month for all criminal acts separated
as to adults and juveniles.
In amiual reports, "offenses known" data and
clearances by arrest are summarized by the
contributors. Aimual forms provide a report of
persons arrested for all criminal offenses mth
respect to age, sex and race of the offender, as
well as an accounting of the number of jiersons
formally charged and their disposition. Police
employee data are collected annually, including
the number of police killed and assaulted.
Reporting Area
During the calendar year 1967, crime reports
were received from law enforcement agencies
representing 98 percent of the total United
States population living in standard metropolitan
statistical areas, 89 percent of the population in
other cities, and 75 jiercent of the rural jiopulation.
The combined coverage accounts for 92 percent of
the national population.
Presentation of crime data by areas as used in
this publication follows as closely as practical the
definitions used by the Bureaus of the Budget and
Census for standard metropolitan statistical areas
and other cities. There is, however, some deviation
insofar as the rural area is concerned. For crime
reporting ])urposes rural is generally the unin-
corporated portion of a county outside of standard
metropolitan statistical areas. In addition, sheriffs'
54
departments or state police agencies frequently
provide coverage for small incorporated com-
munities wliich do not jjrovide tlieir own police
service. These places are characteristically more
rural tlian urban, thus the crime counts for tliese
places are included in the rural tabulations. In
addition, statistics are presented in certain tables
relative to "suburban" areas. A suburban area
consists of cities with 50,000 or less population to-
gether with counties which lie within a standard
metropolitan statistical area. In this use of
suburban the core city experience is, of course,
excluded. The suburban area concept is used
because of the peculiar crime conditions which
exist in these communities surrounding the major
core cities. These metropolitan areas are not rural
in nature, yet neither are they comparable to
large cities although they have many of the
problems identified with the latter.
Standard metropolitan statistical areas are gen-
erally made up of an entire county or counties
ha\-ing at least one core city of 50,000 or more
inhabitants, with the whole meeting the require-
ments of certain metropolitan characteristics.
In New England, "town" instead of "county" is
used to describe standard metropolitan statistical
areas. These towns do not coincide generally with
established crime reporting units; therefore, metro-
politan state economic areas in New England are
used in this area tabulation since they encompass
an entire county or counties. Standard metro-
politan statistical areas make up an estimated 68
percent of the total United States population.
Other citifs are urban jjlaces outside standard
metropolitan statistical areas. Most of these
places of 2,500 or more inhabitants are incor-
porated and comi)rise 13 i)ercent of the 1967
3stimated ])opulation. Rural areas are made up of
the unincorporated portions of counties outside of
.irban places and standard metropolitan statistical
ireas and represent 19 i^ercent of our national
)opidation. Throughout this Program, sheriffs,
■ounty jjolice and many state ])olice re])ort on
■rimes committed within the Imiits of the countj
3ut outside cities, while i)olice report on crimes
committed within the city limits (urban i)]aces).
Verification Processes
Uniformity of crime data collected under this
Program Ls of primary concern to the FBI as
he national clearinghouse. With the receij)! of
-eports covering approximately 8,400 jurisdictions,
irepared on a voluntary basis, the problems of
attaining uniformity are readily apparent. Issu-
aiu'e of instructions does not complete tlie role of
tlie FBI. On the contrary, it is standard operating
Ijrocedure to examine each incoming report not
only for arithmetical accuracy but also, and
possibly of even more importance, for reasonable-
ness as a possible indication of errors.
Variations in the level and ratios among the
crime classes established by jirevious reports of
each agency are used as a measure of ])ossible
or probable incompleteness or changes in reporting
policy. Necessary arithmetical adjustments or
unusual variations are brought to the attention of
the submitting agency by correspondence. During
1967, 19,800 letters were addressed to contributors
primarily as a result of verification and evaluation
processes. Correspondence with contributors is the
])riiici))al tool for supervision of quality. Not only
are tlie individual reports studied, but also periodic
trends for individual reporting units are prepared,
as are crime rates in descending order for all units
grouped for general comparability to assist in de-
tecting variations and fluctuations possibly due to
some reason other than chance. For the most part,
the problem is one of keeping the contributors
informed of the type information necessary to the
success of this Program.
The elimination of duplication of crime report-
ing by the various agencies is given constant atten-
tion. In addition to detailed instructions as to
the limits of reporting jurisdictions between
sheriffs and police in urban places, lists of urban
places by county are furnished to sheriffs, county
police, and in some instances state police
organizations.
Uniform Crime Reporting has been taught to
all law enforcement officers attending the FBI
National Academy. The Academy was established
in 19.35, and there are 3,091 graduates who are still
in law enforcement, over 27 percent of whom are
the executive heads of law enforcement agencies.
The FBI also presents this subject to regional
police schools throughout the country.
Contacts by Special Agents of the FBI are
utilized to enlist the coo])eration of new contrib-
utors and to explain the i)urpose of this Program
and the methods of assembling information for
reporting. When correspondence, including spe-
cially designed questionnaires, fails. Special Agents
may be directed to visit the contributor to affirma-
tively resolve the misunderstanding.
Variations from the desired reporting standards
which cannot be resolved by the stei)s indicated
55
above are brought to the attention of the Com-
mittee on Uniform Crime Records of the lACP.
The Committee may designate a representative
to make a personal visit to the local department
to assist in the needed revision of records and
rejiorting methods.
It is clear, of course, that regardless of the extent
of the statistical verification ]irocesses used by the
FBI, the accuracy of the data assembled under
this Program depends upon the degree of sincere
effort exerted by each contributor to meet the
necessary standards of reporting and, for this
reason, the FBI is not in a position to vouch for
the validity of the reports received.
The Crime Totals
Commimities not represented by crime reports
are relatively few, as discussed previously and as
shown by an examination of the tables which
follow presenting 1967 crime totals for the Index
of Crime classifications. The FBI conducts a con-
tinuing ])rogram to further reduce the unreported
areas.
Within each of the three areas — standard met-
ropolitan statistical, other urban, and rural — it is
assumed that the unreported portion had the same
proportionate crime experience as that for which
reports were received. In lieu of figures for the
entire year from those agencies, reports for as
many as 9 months were accepted as sufficiently
representative on which to base estimates for the
year. Estimates for unreported areas are based
on the reported crime experience of similar areas
within each state. Certain refinements are made of
this basic estimating procedure as the need arises.
Crime Trends
Crime data for trends are homogeneous to the
extbnt that figures from identical reporting units
are used for each of the periods tabulated. In all
trend tabulations only those reporting units are
used whicli have provided cojnparable data for
the period under consitlcratinn. National, geo-
graphic, and area trends are always established
on the basis of two consecutive y^ars. Exclusions
from trend computations are niade when figures
froni a reporting unit are obviously inaccurate
for any period or when it is ascertained that
uiuisiud lluctunlions are due to sucli variables as
improved records procedures and not to cluuice.
As a matter of standard ])roce(Uu'e crime trends
for individual ])hiccs arc analyzed five tijncs a
year by the FBI. An.y significant increase or
decrease is made the subject of a special inquiry
with the contributing agency. In 1967 for exam-
ple, more than 2,000 letters were sent to police
administrators of contributing agencies inquiring
as to the reason for significant increases or de-
creases in pertinent crime classifications. The
communication containing this inquiry specifically
directs attention to possible changes in records or
reporting procedures. When it is found that
crime reporting procedures are in part responsible
for the difference in the level of crime, the figures
for specific crime categories or totals are excluded
from the trend tabulations. Year-to-year trends
in Uniform Crime Reports are valid and may be
vised to reasonably establish long-term trends as
well as to re-estimate crime volume and recon-
struct crime trends for prior years. It can be
assumed logically that the current year is the m ost
complete in terms of volume. Trend or percent
change as established by cojnparal)le units for
each two-year period is then applied as tlie basis
for re-estimating the voluine of crime for prif)r
years.
On the other hand, crime rate tables by state and
standard metropolitan statistical area contain the
most reliable reports available for the current
year, and care should be exercised in any direct
comparisons with prior issues. Changes in crime
level may have been due in part to improved
rejiorting or records procedures rather than to
chance.
Populafion Data
In comi)uting crime rates by state, geographic
division, and the Nation as a whole, population
estimates released by the Bureau of the Census
on November 24, 1967, were used. Population
estimates for individual cities and counties were
prepared by using Special Census Reports, state
sources and estimates, commercial sources, and
extrapolation where no other estimate was avail-
able. Complete 1967 population estimates for indi-
vidual cities and counties were used from 16
states while official sources in other states |)rovided
limited data wliich was used selectively. Tlie esti-
nuited United States population increase in 1967
was I percent over 1966 according to figures
publisiied by liic Bureau of the Census.
Classification of Offenses
A stumbling block to a uniform national crime
rcjiorting system in tlic United States results from
variations in definitions of criminal violations
56
among the states. This obstarle, insofar as uni-
formity of definitions is concerned, was removed
bj' tlic adoption of an arbitrary set of crime chissi-
ficatiuns. To some extent the title of each classifi-
cation connotes in a general way its content.
However, in reading the e.xplanation of each cate-
gory, it is very important to keep in mind that
because of the differences among the state codes
there is no possibility in a system such as tliis to
distinguish between crimes by designations such
as "felony" and "misdemeanor."
A continuing program is carried out to furnish
contributors with timely supplemental instruc-
tions as the need arises in certain classifications.
These are aimed at the clarification of any mis-
understandings which maj' arise and the redirec-
tion of attention to the proper application of classi-
fication procedures under this system.
Brief definitions of crime classifications utilized
in this Program are listed below:
1. Criminal homicide — (a) Miu-der and non-
neghgent manslaughter: all willful felonious homi-
cides as distinguished from deaths caused by
negUgence. Excludes attempts to kUl, assaults to

(1) the killing of a person by a peace officer in
line of duty; (2) the killing of a person in the act
of committing a felony by a private citizen. (6)
Manslaughter by negligence: any death which
the police investigation establishes was primarily
attributable to gross negligence of some individual
other than the victim.
2. Forcible rape.— Rape by force, assault to

The Index of C
rime.
1967
In this section, tabulations are shown to indicate
the probable extent, fluctuation and distributi(ni
of crime for the United States as a whole, geo-
graphic divisions, individual states and standard
metropohtan statistical areas. The measure used
is a Crime Index consisting of seven important
offenses which are counted as they become know n
to the law enforcement agencies. Crime classifica-
tions used in the Index are: murder and non-
neghgent manslaugliter, forcible rape, robbery,
aggravated assault, burglary — breaking or enter-
ing, larceny $50 and over, and auto theft.
The total number of criminal acts that occur is
unknow n, but those that are reported to the police
provide the first means of a count. Not all crimes
come readily to the attention of the police; not all
crimes are of sufficient importance to be significant
in an index; and not all important crimes occur
with enough regularity to be meaningful in an
index. With these considerations in mind, tiie
above crimes were selected as a grovip to furnish
an abbreviated and convenient measure of the
crime problem.
It is important to remember in reviewing the
tables in this section that the volume of crime in
a state or standard metropolitan statistical area
is subject to the factors set forth on page vi.
Estimates of current permanent population are
used to construct crime rates. With our highly
mobile population all communities, metropohtan
areas and states are affected to a greater or lesser
degree by the element of transient population.
This factor is not accounted for in crime rates
since no rehable estimates by state are available
nationwide.
This year tables are presented showing the com-
parative crime experience by population group of
suburban cities having 50,000 or less inhabitants
with cities of the same size isolated from suburban
areas. The effects of being a part of the metro-
politan fringe can be readily discerned by a review
of these tables.

1 The percentage representing area actually reporting will not coincide with the ratio between reported and estimated crime totals since these data
represent the sum of the calculations for individual states which have varying populations, portions reporting and crime rates.
Population by area for each state is 1967 estimate: total population for each state is Bureau of the Census provisional estimate as of July 1, 1967, and subject
to change. All rates were calculated on the estimated population before rounding.

National city averages are also shown indicating
the type and value of the property stolen, by
offense and type, and value recovered by police
investigation. Robbery, biu^glary, and larceny-
theft are examined by type, as well as where and
when they occurred. An analysis is provided
sho\ving weapons used to commit murders as
well as a distribution of murder victims by age,
sex and race. Dispositions made of persons for-
mally charged for all criminal offenses are set
forth in Table 15 and disposition data on juvenile
offenders is provided by population group in
Table 17.
City, suburban, and niral area arrest rates are
shown for all criminal offenses. Arrest rates by
population group are also listed for specific
offenses. This is another step in building totals
for crime categories other than those in the Crime
Index and in presenting crimes known to the
police through arrests.
Statistical data relating to suburban areas are
provided for the use of law enforcement officials
in suburban communities in making limited com-
parisons. Places used to establish totals for
suburban areas include cities with 50,000 or less
population together with county law enforcement
agencies in standard metropolitan statistical areas.
Of course, the crime experience of the large core
city is excluded.
It is important to remember in studying
averages that usually about half the units used
must be above and about half below. National
averages can provide the police administrator with
valuable guidance in analyzing the local crime
count, as well as the performance of his force in
combating crime. The analysis, however, does
not end with such a comparison, for it is only
through an appraisal of local conditions that a
clear picture of the community crime problem or
the effectiveness of the police operation is possible

Arrest Data
Tables in the follo\ving section pro\n(ie certain
personal characteristics of indinduuls arrested for
all criminal acts. Arrest rates and trends are shown
for city, suburban and rural areas, as well as the
United States as a whole. Tabulations are pub-
lished containing; characteristics of j^ersons ar-
rested by age, se.x and race.
Arrest statistics are collected annually from con-
tributing law enforcement agencies and the figures
used in the tables this year were submitted by
agencies representing 74 percent of the United
States popidation. In using these arrest figures it
is important to remember that the same person
may be arrested several times during one year for
the same type or for different offenses. Each arrest
is counted. Further, the arrest of one person may
solve several crimes and, in other instances, two
or more persons may be arrested during the
solution of one crime.
Arrests are primarily a measure of police ac-
ti\dty, as it relates to crime. Although police arrest
practices vary, particularly with respect to
juveniles, contributors to this Program are in-
structed to count one arrest each time an individ-
ual is taken into custody for committing a specific
crime. A juvenile is counted as a person arrested
when he commits an offense and the circumstances
are such that if the offender were an adult, an
arrest would be made.
Arrest data, while primarily a measure of law
enforcement activity, is also a gauge of crimmality
when used \\-ithin its limitations, as must be done
with all forms of criminal statistics, including
court and penal.

personnel. Figures showing police strength by
number of full-time police officers and civilian
employees are based on national averages. These
figures should not be interpreted as indicating
recommended or desirable police strength. Ade-
quate police requirements for a specific place can
only be determined following careful study and
analysis of the local situation together with a
thorough evaluation of the numerous factors
which affect local police needs.
Two tables containing police employee rates
are set forth. In the first, total employees including
ci\'ilian personnel are used, whereas in the second
table only sworn personnel are used to compute
rates.
The police employee rate ranges in Table 49,
which include civilians, show the interquartile
range between the upper limits of the lowest
quartile and the lower limits of the highest quar-
tile. In other words, 50 percent of the cities shown
in each population group and geographic division
have a police strength within the rate ranges
shown. By arraying rates in this manner, extremes
are eliminated.
In Table 50 where rates are published for police
officers, complete rate ranges are provided as
supplemental data for those who may be interested
in using these figures to make limited comparisons.
Another table is presented showing police
strength for all state police and state highway
patrol organizations. This table is designed to
show, by state, the number of miles of state and
Federal highway per sworn employee, as well
as the number of registered vehicles per officer.
These rates are only a rough yardstick as to com-
parative workload and personnel strength because
of widely differing functions and other factors.
The wide variations in sworn and civilian person-
nel among the various states can be accounted for
in part by the differences in responsibilities as-
signed to the departments. It is pointed out, for
instance, that state police generally are responsible
not only for traffic patrol, but also conduct a
major portion of the criminal investigative work
in the unincorporated areas of the states. On the
other hand, the activities of the state liighway
patrol organizations for the most part are limited
to traffic and highway patrol, which includes
handling all types of crime which come to their
attention during the performance of their patrol
functions. Many of these state highway patrol
groups also are authorized to and do participate
in criminal investigative work when requested
to do so by local departments or sheriffs' offices.
The annual collection of police employee data
provides figures for police killed and assaidted.
Collection of these data is supplemented with
respect to police killed in the line of duty through
the use of a special questionnaire, by means of
which additional details on this important subject
are accumulated. Data relative to police killed
and assaulted are also presented in the Summary
Section of this publication.
